The Legacies of War: The Toxic Trail

29:49

This is not an easy story to tell, it is a story of great suffering and of families destroyed. During the Vietnam War, the U.S. military sprayed more than 20 million gallons of the Agent Orange herbicide over Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia. It contained dioxin, one of the most toxic chemicals known to man.
