They have never imagined this to be reality.
Only thirty years ago, US GIs and the Vietcong killed each other in the jungle of Vietnam - today they fight together as allies before the Second District Court in New York. Their common opponents: The manufacturers of the defoliant Agent Orange - US chemistry giant Monsanto leading the way. Their common goal: Payment of fair damages because of the late effects of Agent Orange, which still occur even with their children nowadays. Agent Orange was sprayed during the Vietnam War in very large quantities over the jungle. Now the New York district judges have to decide whether there will be a resumption of proceedings in order to force payments of compensation or not. The central question: What did the manufacturers know about the danger of Agent Orange?
