The International Alliance of Atomic Veterans is a veterans' group committed to the abolishing of all nuclear weapons.
Interviewing Vietnam veterans and peace activists Dr. Charles Clements and Asa Baber.
Dr. William Beecher, Chi Academy of Sciences, Dorothy Buell, member of Dunes council, Tom Dustin, head of Indiana Issac Walton League, and Thelma McVey, head of the Sierra Club Midwestern, discuss why the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore must be saved, and the measures they are taking to do so.
After having flown 50 missions in Vietnam, Charles Clements went to medical school and became a physician and a human rights activist. Dr. Clements talks about his observations in the poorest sections of Nicaragua. Because medicine for the poor people was considered contraband, Clements had to resort to putting rusty nails into a cup of water and having his patients drink the water for iron supplements. Clements reminds the audience if we don't know our history, we are bound to repeat it.
