The film deals with efforts by Vietnamese Agent Orange victims to obtain redress in the US courts. The dismissal of their lawsuit in 2005 is being appealed.

The film includes an interview with a lawyer for Dow – the only representative from the chemical companies that agreed to speak. It also features

Janet Gardner and cameraman Lens at the Vinh Moc tunnels (Quang Tri) in 1997.

Janet met many Vietnamese children born with grossly enlarged heads, bulging eyes and missing limbs whose parents fought in the southern battlefield. She met Thuy Linh in Ho Chi Minh City, an armless 12-year-old girl, who has learned to write with her feet and is the main character of her film.

Janet traveled to many places in Vietnam and personally witnessed the living conditions of the Dioxin affected victims, propelling her to make the documentary film with a hope that the images in the film will awaken the good sense of many people around the world.
