Agent Orange: The Full Story - TRDN S01E33

Between 1962 and 1971, U.S. aircraft sprayed more than 19 million gallons of herbicides across Vietnam—an operation meant to clear jungle cover and starve the enemy. Instead, it unleashed one of the most enduring human and environmental disasters of the 20th century. This film follows the full story of Agent Orange: how it was created, why it was used, the cover-ups that followed, and the generations still living with its consequences. From Dow and Monsanto’s laboratories to the C-123 flight lines of Operation Ranch Hand, this documentary traces the chemistry, politics, and human cost of the defoliant that outlived the war itself. 0:00 The Jungle That Fought Back 4:43 Brewing the Perfect Poison 11:02 Operation Ranch Hand 17:36 The Human Fallout 24:08 The Battle for Recognition 30:13 The Legacy That Wouldn’t Die Hashtags: #AgentOrange #VietnamWar #OperationRanchHand #MilitaryHistory #TheRealDaveNewton #Vietnam #USAF #DowChemical #Monsanto #TCDD #Dioxin #WarHistory #ColdWar
