Falluja April 2004 A documentary by Japanese independent journalist Toshikuni Doi <http://www.alettertotheprimeminister.co.uk/> "A Letter to the Prime Minister' serves as an important and hard hitting documentary which chronicles the journey of British activist Jo Wilding in Iraq before, during and after the Anglo-American invasion. Director Julia Guest offers up exclusive footage from Baghdad showing the desperate plight of the hospitals under the genocidal sanctions, then moves on to show how Iraqi civilians paid the price of the failed 'Shock and Awe' bombing campaign."
"Narrated as a letter to Tony Blair, this film challenges the legality of the invasion and stands as evidence of countless war crimes for which Bush and Blair are responsible."
/"I personally travelled with Guest and Wilding into Fallujah during the April, 2004 siege-this film offers rare and exclusive footage of the deliberate targeting of civilians and medical workers during that massacre, as well as up close and personal views of the effects of the heavy-handed tactics of collective punishment by the US military on an entire city."/
/"As both a testimony to the plight of the Iraqi people under occupation, a glimpse of what really happened in Fallujah during the April siege, as well as the remarkable work of Jo Wilding, who has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize along with the 'One Thousand Women for Peace Group,' this film is a must see. Watching it brought me right back to the devastating scenes from the heart of Fallujah."/ -Dahr Jamail
