35 years after the end of the Vietnam War, approximately three million Vietnamese are still suffering from its consequences. Elderly people, teenagers, children, and babies languish in hospitals and nursing homes, in small villages in the Mekong Delta, in the northern mountains, in the Central Highlands, in large cities like Hanoi, Saigon, or Hue. An inherited curse that passes from generation to generation. Their carriers are recognized by their deformities. They are the forgotten victims of one of the greatest war crimes of the last century: the victims of Agent Orange. To this day, the US has paid not a cent in compensation.
