Beyond Treason

Beyond Treason is an 89-minute 2005 documentary by William Lewis and Joyce Riley. It reveals a history of profiteering by chemical companies such as Monsanto who used war as an occasion to test their latest products, such as agent orange. The film gives details of US government testing of chemicals on its own citizens such as Operation Whitecoat and MKUltra. It alleges that this policy is responsible for Gulf War syndrome, still referred to by the US military as a 'mystery illness'. The film suggests that the symptoms have a range of causes including cost cutting on safety equipment by military contractors, exposure to depleted uranium (DU) munitions or other unlicensed chemicals as well as intentional experimentation on American soldiers by the US military.

The documentary features interviews by Doug Rokke (former Director Of The U.S. Army Depleted Uranium Project), Dennis Kyne (NBC Medical Specialist Veteran's Advocate), Joyce Riley (Spokesperson, American Gulf War Veterans Association ), Mark Zeller (SSGT, Veteran - Op. Desert Storm ) and Bob Jones (SSGT RET. Veteran - Op. Desert Storm )

Beyond Treason won the Grand Festival Award at the 2005 Berkeley Film Fest.
