How the Arts Community Portrayed Agent Orange
Who tells the story of the survivors of Agent Orange the best? The veterans? The Western anti-war activists? The big film studios? Or, the Vietnamese themselves? Readers can search Agent Orange to find out the horrific details, but the most important fact is that the damage will continue for several more generations. It’s not over yet. The toxic dioxin in Agent Orange still remains in the water and soil in several populated areas of Vietnam. These toxins cause damage to the genes that continue to be inherited for many generations. Someone drinking contaminated water today could have a deformed, cancer-ridden or blind grandchild in 2060.
