Episode overview

40 years after the Vietnam War, a painful legacy of the jungle fighting continues to inflict suffering. The toxic defoliant Agent Orange - sprayed by the US and South Vietnamese forces - damaged the minds and bodies of civilians and soldiers. The Vietnamese government acknowledges at least 300,000 victims. With 3rd and 4th generations being affected, that figure keeps growing. In this episode, we follow the Dao family as it struggles to survive a war that never ends.
