31看世界 (2021) 美軍在越南打化學戰
2021_11_03
越戰期間，有毒除草劑「橙劑」在越南被大量使用，造成災難性的禍害，這些禍害並沒有隨著越戰結束，今天在世界各地，這種有毒除草劑的其中一種主要成分仍然在農業、林木業、公園——甚至兒童遊樂場中使用。這種化學物質會嚴重破壞人類基因組，導致胎兒畸形、令人患上癌症等病患。
經過數十年的角力和痛失家人的哀傷，兩位英勇的女性領導了一場全球行動，以結束由橙劑而來的禍害，並向化學品製造商追究責任。
在法國，陳素娥起訴美國化學品製造商毒害她的越南家人。在美國，嘉露•范•斯特林就揭露了有毒除草劑仍在持續使用的情況。
在事件中有指證化學品製造商的文件被消失；有揭發橙劑危害生命的人士受到威脅，更有人的子女因而付上生命。
As a landmark trial begins in Paris which could see the chemical manufactures held responsible for the devastation caused by Agent Orange in Vietnam, we bring you an acclaimed documentary following the claimant, Tran To Nga.
The Agent Orange catastrophe did not end with the war in Vietnam. Today, all over the world, a primary component of that toxic herbicide controls weeds is still used in farming, forestry, parks—even on children’s playgrounds. The chemical wreaks havoc on the human genome, causing deformed births and deadly cancers.
After decades of struggle and tragic personal losses, two heroic women are leading a worldwide movement to end the plague and hold the manufacturers accountable. In France, Tran To Nga is suing the American chemical industry for poisoning her Vietnamese family. And in America, Carol Van Strum exposes the continuing use of toxic herbicides.
Incriminating documents disappear. Activists and their children are threatened and die.
