越战期间,有毒除草剂「橙剂」在越南被大量使用,造成灾难性的祸害,这些祸害并没有随着越战结束,今天在世界各地,这种有毒除草剂的其中一种主要成分仍然在农业、林木业、公园——甚至儿童游乐场中使用。这种化学物质会严重破坏人类基因组,导致胎儿畸形、令人患上癌症等病患。
经过数十年的角力和痛失家人的哀伤,两位英勇的女性领导了一场全球行动,以结束由橙剂而来的祸害,并向化学品制造商追究责任。
在法国,陈素娥起诉美国化学品制造商毒害她的越南家人。在美国,嘉露•范•斯特林就揭露了有毒除草剂仍在持续使用的情况。
在事件中有指证化学品制造商的文件被消失;有揭发橙剂危害生命的人士受到威胁,更有人的子女因而付上生命。

As a landmark trial begins in Paris which could see the chemical manufactures held responsible for the devastation caused by Agent Orange in Vietnam, we bring you an acclaimed documentary following the claimant, Tran To Nga.
The Agent Orange catastrophe did not end with the war in Vietnam. Today, all over the world, a primary component of that toxic herbicide controls weeds is still used in farming, forestry, parks—even on children’s playgrounds. The chemical wreaks havoc on the human genome, causing deformed births and deadly cancers.
After decades of struggle and tragic personal losses, two heroic women are leading a worldwide movement to end the plague and hold the manufacturers accountable. In France, Tran To Nga is suing the American chemical industry for poisoning her Vietnamese family. And in America, Carol Van Strum exposes the continuing use of toxic herbicides.
Incriminating documents disappear. Activists and their children are threatened and die.
