Filmmaker Bob Coen ponders the terrifying possibilities of chemical and biological warfare in this chilling documentary. Taking as his launching point the 2001 anthrax attacks that occurred in the U.S. during the immediate aftermath of 9/11, Coen sets out on a global journey that encompasses the FBI's investigation of that case; the documented use of germ warfare on black South Africans by the apartheid government; the mysterious deaths of biological-weapons experts David Kelly and Bruce Ivins; and the burgeoning yet unregulated bio-defense industry.
