DocumentaireShort

"Radioactive Veteran" is a documentary short about Marine Corps veteran Donald Guy and his widow Mary. When Donald was serving in the early 1950s, the military ordered him to the Nevada Test Site, where they had begun conducting nuclear testing. Along with thousands of other Marines and soldiers, Donald was assured he was safe as he gazed at the billowing mushroom cloud and marched through the desert toward the atomic blast. Within only a few years, however, Donald began experiencing serious medical issues resulting from radiation exposure and soon became disabled. For the rest of his life, he fought for disability benefits with Veterans Affairs, but in 2009 he died before receiving his due compensation. Over the next seven years, his widow Mary continued his fight for justice, as documented in "Radioactive Veteran."

Short but well done documentary about a Marine who was ordered to be part of the atomic bomb experiments that they had in Nevada back in the 50's. Remember those old atomic bomb education films that the government put out where you would see soldiers holding up inside these long trenches in the desert, then you'd see the atomic bomb explode and under orders, you would see the soldiers get out of the trenches and run towards the blast! These exercises were to simulate the possibility of ground troops being involved in an atomic war. Sadly in their training films, the soldiers were given all this misinformation, one being that if you're close enough to get radiation sickness, then you'd be burned up by the blast and die anyway. Marine Donald Guy, is one of these solders that took part in these tests and who eventually became sick from the radiation exposure. Donald with the help of his wife Mary seek medical assistance from the VA but are continuously refused, a month before Donald dies and after spending everything they had the VA finally agree to pay for his treatment but nothing else. In this documentary Mary is somewhat of a hero as she's determined to seek justice to what had happened to her husband, and with the help of our other hero, attorney Jonathan Kelly, take on the task of getting that justice from the VA.
