Abstract:

Directed by Nancy August Strakosch. "This film addresses the scientific, psychological, and political issues of the Agent Orange issue as it has affected women who were exposed and their children. It is the first film to look at this problem which has largely been ignored. The film centers on a nurse, who was sent to Vietnam along with her officer husband. Her tragic story is intertwined with those of other women who have suffered health problems."
