The guy in this clip is Paul Jacobs an American radical journalist who got lung cancer while investigating the effects on US civilians of the nuclear bomb tests in the Nevada desert in the 50′s and 60′s. The clip is from the documentary Paul Jacobs & The Nuclear Gang, resleased in 1979, 18 months after this clip was filmed, by which time Paul was dead.
