Agent Orange is a mixture of dangerous chemicals used in the Vietnam War to clear the forest and destroy plantlife for American soldiers to maneuver around the foreign land. However, the consequences of dropping the toxic fumes still affect many lives today. Not only did it affect many Vietnam soldiers after they breathed in the toxins, but it also affected their future children and their wives. Birth defects and deformities are common in those exposed to Agent Orange and are passed onto future generations. The soil that is used to grow crops and the water they use to drink/bathe is directly affected by the poison and the United States is not taking responsibility for it.

Agent Orange is not taught in American schools. No one really knows that it happened. I came across this video a year ago and was saddened after seeing the tragic after-effects; I didn’t know about Agent Orange before until I came across this documentary. The children affected by Agent Orange are heavily displaced in society because of their deformities and nothing major is being done to assist them. In the video, ‘The Peace Village’ is the place they are dropped off in and stay for the rest of their lives. Many of these children have life-threatening deformities and have different needs that have to be accommodated for, in order for them to survive. There are still places that are contaminated by Agent Orange; however, there is nothing being done to prevent the spread to future generations. Victims are not receiving the proper attention and help that they need.
