The People vs. Agent Orange

The devastation caused by Agent Orange did not cease with the conclusion of the Vietnam War. Presently, a key ingredient of this hazardous herbicide is used globally to manage weeds in agriculture, forestry, parks, and even children’s playgrounds. This chemical inflicts severe damage on human DNA, leading to birth defects and fatal cancers. After years of battling and enduring personal tragedies, two courageous women are spearheading an international campaign to eradicate this scourge and hold its producers responsible. In France, Tran To Nga is taking legal action against the American chemical industry for poisoning her Vietnamese relatives. Meanwhile, in the United States, Carol Van Strum is uncovering the ongoing application of these toxic herbicides. Crucial documents vanish, and activists along with their families face threats and fatalities. A helicopter technician clandestinely records the pollution of water sources, while a vast industrial cover-up persists.
