White Dog Cafe - Storytelling - Agent Orange: Collateral Damage in Vietnam

In his most recent compilation, Griffiths documents landscapes & descendants of people caught in U.S. warplanes’ deluge of Agent Orange during the Vietnam War – made with Dioxin, one of the world’s deadliest poisons. Their goal was to kill the crops and forestry that afforded civilians and enemy troops cover for their operations. They also ended up crippling generations of people. Griffiths’ book provides a compelling argument for U.S. restitution to the Vietnamese victims. His visit accompanies a NYC retrospective of his work at Denise Bibro Fine Art Gallery, 529 W. 20th Street 4th Floor West, tel. (212) 647-7030.

Griffiths's book, Agent Orange, is available in the Black Cat.
