| User ReviewBill WThis is a documentary that deals with the oil well fires that Saddam Hussein ordered to be set in Kuwait as his military occupation was force out. Much of the action deals with the techniques used to extinguish those oil well fires. This is a stunning film in many ways. When you watch it remember that, in this film, there are no special effects. |
