More than thirty years have passed, and Vietnamese people of all ages are still suffering. Children who weren’t even born when the war ended were exposed either though their parents or through environmental contamination.

Many U.S. veterans have received money from the several companies that produced Agent Orange, but will the Vietnamese ever see any compensation or help?
