NEW YORK — A documentary entitled The Last Ghost of War which depicts Vietnamese Agent Orange (AO) victims’ lawsuit against American chemical producers, is scheduled to be screened in the US, in late February.
Pham Quoc Thai, an overseas Vietnamese, who worked on the Janet Gardner directed 57-minute piece, said that the documentary focuses on the three groups of people exposed to Agent Orange, Vietnamese victims, American war veterans and ex-workers at US chemical factories.
War veterans, lawyers and historians in both Viet Nam and the US would also appear in the documentary to help provide a thorough insight into the use of the defoliant used by the US military during the Viet Nam war, Thai said.
Thai emphasised that through the film, which would be screened before the US Federal Court of Appeal at mid-year, the producers highlighted the fact that all AO victims regardless of nationality, require justice as well as compensation.
The Last Ghost of War will make its debut at Rutger University in New Jersey on February 24, and will then be screened at Rider University in late March and Princeton University during April.
Producers also plan to introduce it to the Asia Society in New York in April. — VNS
