More Details

Summary:

A revelatory documentary about Porton Down - the world-leading military and scientific base that specializes in chemical and biological warfare and the fight against global terrorism. This top-secret British military unit was first established in World War One in response to the terrifying advance of chemical warfare. It now helps fight against biological weapons, the Ebola bomb and global terrorism - and it was here that scientists proved to President Obama that sarin was being used in Syria. For the first time, Porton Down opens its doors to the public. Secret Science also explores the controversies that have engulfed Porton Down. How far should one unit go in the battle against chemical and biological warfare - and what happens when the enemy refuses to play by the Geneva Convention rules?
