Agent Orange in Vietnam
As a response to the invasion of Iraq by US forces I travelled to Vietnam to
record the ongoing widespread suffering of the Vietnamese people affected by the
largest use of chemical weapons in history. Known as Agent Orange the genetic
time bomb was unleashed by the American air force during the conflict in
Vietnam. Now into its third generation Agent Orange is still killing and
horribly disfiguring.
