The People vs Agent Orange

Two heroic women battle to hold manufacturers to account and end the use of highly toxic ‘Agent Orange’ today. The Agent Orange catastrophe did not end with the Vietnam War, as Tran To Nga and Carol Van Strum still fight to prove. Up to four million people in Vietnam were exposed to Agent Orange with catastrophic consequences for many of them and their children: cancers, tumours, birth defects, heart problems, brain damage and other serious health conditions. While the US army was forced to stop using Agent Orange in Vietnam in 1971, a variation of the compound was still allowed to be used in remote forests in the US years later.
