‘The People Vs. Agent Orange’ is a documentary on the horrifying effects of the use of the chemical known as Agent Orange. Not only was this chemical used over 60 years ago in Vietnam, but many people don’t realize that it was also used in the forestry industry in the United States. The shocking images of the effects on animals and humans alone should make people want to ban it and similar types of chemicals. I've never seen such images and it just broke my heart to know that they are now seeing fourth generation effects of this chemical. The documentary does a good job of following two amazing women - one an author and activist in Paris, the other an activist in Oregon - who have both been trying to fight the chemical companies and manufacturers of these dangerous herbicides.
This is a disturbing documentary that needs to be watched!
