About the TV Movie:
An examination of the aftermath of Desert Storm and how servicemen and women were affected by it medically.
Storyline:
The 1991 Persian Gulf War is a military triumph for the United States. But when thousands of returning veterans start to develop medical problems, it appears that the military is trying to downplay or ignore the situation. It takes perseverance on the part of military families and members of Congress to bring to light the dilemma and prompt action on the part of the government.
