This year's International Uranium Film Festival (IUFF) in Berlin honored uranium weapons expert and activist Damacio A. Lopez with the festival's Honorary Lifetime Achievement Award.
For over thirty years, the US Air Force veteran from New Mexico has campaigned for an international ban on depleted uranium munitions and weapons.
Damacio Lopez received the festival trophy at the “Kino & Bar in der Königstadt” in Berlin.
The 82-year-old is probably the world-wide most experienced and most interviewed scholar and activist on uranium weapons.
His recently published dossier `My Last Battle: Ban Uranium Weapons´ is a profound investigation of the military use of depleted uranium, says IUFF general director Norbert Suchanek.
