Amputee actors train soldiers for combat (CNN, 2012) | Staged Terrorism # "Amputee actors are training our troops for combat in a way no one else could. Professional make-up artists create the appearance of horrific injuries on the actors, who are all part of a simulated combat situation. Those participating – which include military recruits and journalists – are taught to perform lifesaving maneuvers on the amputees. “We call it hyper-realistic,” said Kit Lavell, a Vietnam veteran who runs Strategic Operations, or STOPS, in San Diego – a movie set turned training ground for thousands of U.S. servicemen and women." # Source: https://edition.cnn.com/2012/12/05/us/amputee-actors-combat-training/index.html (CNN, 2012) # Playlists: [The Boston Marathon bombing (2013)](https://odysee.com/@swprs:3/Boston-Marathon-bombing-%282013%29:c) and [Staged Terrorism (General)](https://odysee.com/@swprs:3/Staged-Terrorism-%28General%29:0) (SPR) # ***

[German] Hiroshima, Nagasaki - Atombombenopfer sagen aus (Doku, 1985, 480p) | 18+ # "In seinem schonungslosen wie berührenden Dokumentarfilm von 1985 lässt Hans-Dieter Grabe Opfer der beiden Atombombenabwürfe der US-Amerikaner auf Hiroshima und Nagasaki 1945 zu Wort kommen. Eigentlich hatten die Atombomben Deutschland treffen sollen. Doch als die ersten Bomben technisch einsatzbereit waren, gab es nur noch Japan als Kriegsgegner. Am 6. und 9. August 1945 gingen Hiroshima und Nagasaki in Flammen auf. 125 000 Menschen starben am Tag der Explosion, 200 000 weitere in den folgenden Tagen, Wochen, Monaten und Jahren. Sie verdampften und verbrannten, starben an der Strahlenkrankheit und an Krebs." # Quelle: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bapUUZcUzHg (VHS-Dokumentationen, 2023) Beschreibung: [ARD-Mediathek](https://programm.ard.de/TV/Themenschwerpunkte/Dokus--Reportagen/Alle-Dokumentationen/Startseite/?sendung=287253398951216) Hans-Dieter Grabe: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans-Dieter_Grabe # Playlist: [Die Weltkriege](https://odysee.com/@swprs:3/World-War-II:c) und [Deutschsprachige Videos](https://odysee.com/@swprs:3/german-videos:0) (SPR) # ***

Inside Job: The 2008 Financial Crisis (2010 Documentary) # "Inside Job is a 2010 American documentary film, directed by Charles Ferguson, about the late-2000s financial crisis. Ferguson, who began researching in 2008, said the film is about "the systemic corruption of the United States by the financial services industry and the consequences of that systemic corruption", amongst them conflicts of interest of academic research, which led to improved disclosure standards by the American Economic Association. In five parts, the film explores how changes in the policy environment and banking practices helped create the financial crisis. The film was acclaimed by film critics, who praised its pacing, research, and exposition of complex material. It was screened at the 2010 Cannes Film Festival in May 2010 and, on February 27, 2011, won Best Documentary Feature at the 83rd Academy Awards."
