Nearly 60 years following the use of Agent Orange in the Vietnam War, the devastating aftereffects of the toxin remain lethal. This film follows two activists – Tran To Nga and Carol Van Strum – as they take on the chemical industry. Demanding accountability, they work to mitigate the deadly legacy caused by using this poisonous herbicide in their communities.

Presented by Smithsonian Associate and the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History through the generous support of Dan Manatt and Democracy Films.
