Greg Davis, an American photojournalist living in Japan, passed away in 2003 from complications brought on by his exposure to the defoliant Agent Orange while he served in U.S. Army in Vietnam.
His wife, Masako Sakata, began on a personal journey to find out about Agent Orange, which was sprayed throughout South Vietnam more than 30 years ago.
12% of the soil of South Vietnam was contaminated with 19 million gallons of defoliants sprayed between 1961 and 1970, 12 million of which were Agent Orange containing dioxin, the most toxic chemical invented by man.
In Vietnam, Masako encountered the victims everywhere, so immediate and present. Children who were not even born then are suffering from all kinds of deformities and illnesses. In spite of their difficulties and poverty, everywhere she found love, caring, and warmth. Meeting the victims and their families helped her to heal.
The documentary also reveals some of the facts that led to an unprecedented ecological disaster.
Agent Orange: A personal requiem is an indictment of U.S. foreign policy, corporate greed, and American apathy, as well as being a celebration of love's ability to face enormous adversity.
