Masako Sakata

Description

After being told that her husband Greg Davis, a Vietnam veteran and photographer, died unexpectedly in 2003 from defoliant during the Vietnam War, Director Sakata began to travel to Vietnam to learn what had happened to him. There, she witnessed children born with severe disabilities due to the effects of Agent Orange, even 30 years after the war, and the families who nurtured and cared for them. Although Vietnam has achieved remarkable economic development since then, the victims and their families have been left behind. The film depicts these people, the doctors who continue their support activities, and the former journalists who filed a lawsuit against the U.S. government and the company that produced the defoliant, as they continue to face the scars of the war.
