In the lush woods of the Catskill Mountains, a mythical memory lives on. Of a time when men — armed with rifles and pitchforks, disguised in eerie masks and gowns — descended from bucolic hills to stage the Anti-Rent War, or the “Second American Revolution” as they called it. That farmers’ uprising 200 years ago changed the course of American history and paved the way to the creation of Abraham Lincoln’s Republican Party.

Nearly 60 years following the use of Agent Orange in the Vietnam War—the deadliest use of chemical warfare in history—the devastating aftereffects of the toxin remain lethal, demanding attention both in Vietnam and at home in America. The People vs. Agent Orange closely follows two activists as they take on the chemical industry, and demand accountability for the pernicious legacy caused by the use of this poisonous herbicide.
