Synopsis
On October 14, 1990, before a US Congress commission, a 15-year-old adolescent girl, Nayirah al-Sabah, gives a chilling testimony of the atrocities committed in a Kuwait hospital by Saddam Hussein’s Iraqi troops. Televisions around the world broadcast the speech.
On January 17, 1991, international forces launch the operation Desert Storm. It’s the First Gulf War.
But this war was declared on the basis of a lie, entirely invented by communication agencies and financed by the US and Kuwait governments.
