Chemical warfare docco

Thirty years after the end of the Vietnam War they are among several millions diagnosed as victims of Agent Orange.

In the current affairs program, Cutting Edge at 8:30pm tonight on SBS, we meet several who are plaintiffs in a class action suit against 32 US chemical companies.

Attorneys, activists, scientists, and a military historian take us to a new battlefield.

These Vietnamese victims are seeking compensation and justice.

The question is were these dioxin-laden herbicides chemical weapons? And if so, who should be held accountable in the wake of what was allegedly the largest chemical warfare operation in history?

Please note: Although we do try our very best to have accurate times and information on tonight's viewing for you, these details can change without notice. Happy viewing!
