Buried At Sea
Directed by John Wesley Chisholm
Buried At Sea: Just outside Halifax Harbor, munitions and explosives dumps lay alongside torpedoes and mustard gas dumps. A mustard gas dump within 300 Kilometers of our city! The undersea problem is not unique to Canada. The Netherlands, Italy, Japan, Great Britain, Ireland and Germany have reported injuries and deaths of those who had the misfortune of coming across these relics on the sea bottom. Buried at Sea assesses the damage and explores what, if anything, can be done to clean-up our global mess.
