Title: Eve of War

Spring is in the air and Michael prepares his garden for the warm season.....thousands of miles away, US and British troups prepare themselves for a war.

Michael has clear memories of the start of the second world war. Despite living through those years; experiencing air raid strikes and rashening, he's in no doubt that military action against Iraq is the only option.

He wants anti-war protestors to see the bigger picture - to think of the the people of Iraq, the torments they suffer under Saddam Hussain's regime. With this is mind, he believes people will see that military force is the best move. This film was shot just fifteen hours before the US's first strike on Iraq. Michael's hoping for a quick war, one which will take out Saddam Hussain within a week....
