Chronicling the horrific story of the Agent Orange experiments near
Oromocto, New Brunswick, this shocking history reveals the tragic
accounts of numerous families who lost loved ones due to military
testing. Depicting the initial spraying of the deadly defoliant
near Gagetown, this document portrays how the United States
military, searching for a terrain similar to Vietnam, began
conducting tests in this area. Although the Americans discontinued
their trials in the late 1960s, this record uncovers more than an
additional decade's worth of continued use by Canadian forces, who
discovered it was cheaper to clear brush and kill trees with a
dangerous chemical than to hire workers to perform the task. As
this astonishing study demonstrates, what they did not know at the
time was that Agent Orange also killed people. Hundreds of locals
suffered and died, and cancer and other diseases ran rampant among
military personnel and civilians who worked on the base. This
stunning recollection investigates the stories of those who didn't
survive as well as their relatives' daunting struggle to obtain
compensation for their suffering and loss, exposing countless years
of government complicity.
