1991 is a key date in the construction of the global empire. At the start of the first Gulf war, George Bush "the father", paraphrasing a soldier, declared: "I don't think we're in this war over the price of a barrel of oil, we're here to define the future of the world for the next 100 years".

Civilian casualties continue to mount long after wars “officially” end. I shot these video images of preserved fetuses and living children in a Vietnamese hospital in 1991. Medical professionals believe that the continuing high percentage of birth defects in Vietnam is a direct consequence of the US use of Agent Orange from 1961 to 1971. Depleted uranium weapons used in Iraq in 1991 are now linked to similar birth defects, both in Iraqi children as well as in babies born to soldiers serving in the Gulf War.

A philosophical flume ride through the physical, political and moral borders that inhibit the free movement of people and ideas. Mixing commentary, computer graphics, dramatisations, and investigative journalism, "BORDERS" probes the unsettling paradoxes behind immigration, drugs, Star Wars, and other topics.

The video shows two men playing chess; Radovan Karadzic and Radco Mladic, the psychiatrist and the general. Silence is interrupted by a voice with a heavy accent. Karadzic is a psychiatrist, a poet and the former Bosnian Serb leader. Mladic is a general and the former commander of the Bosnian Serb Army. The two men together are accused of having designed and ordered most of the atrocities that took place in Bosnia. The video juxtaposes classic war strategy, greed and vanity with consequences in reality by suggesting horror through denial.

There can be no witnesses to this war. There can be no witnesses because it is based on lies. The only journalists that the Americans allow in Fallujah are embedded with their troops. In spite of this, images such as the one of a marine shooting a wounded, unarmed fighter inside the Mosque at Fallujah have been beamed out to the world. And precisely because these images have gone out, although nobody knows how, and circulated all over the world, the NBC journalist that captured them was immediately expelled from the ranks of embedded journalists. Fallujah, The Hidden Massacre is a documentary by Sigfrido Ranucci and Maurizio Torrealta which first aired on Italy's RAI state television network on November 8, 2005. It testifies to the use of weapons that the film claims are chemical weapons, in particular incendiary bombs, and alleges indiscriminate use of violence against civilians and children by United States of America military forces in the city of Fallujah in Iraq during the November 2004 Fallujah Offensive.
