The award-winning documentary The People vs. Agent Orange to be screened in Tillamook on November 8, 2025
TILLAMOOK, OREGON — On Saturday, November 8, North Coast Communities for Watershed Protection will be showing the powerful and eye-opening documentary The People vs. Agent Orange in Tillamook, Oregon, bringing attention to one of the most toxic legacies of war and corporate power. The free event will take place at the Tillamook County Library, 1716 3rd Street in Tillamook, Oregon beginning at 1:00 p.m.
The People vs. Agent Orange, directed by Alan Adelson and Kate Taverna, follows the decades-long fight of two extraordinary women—Vietnamese activist Tran To Nga and American Carol Van Strum—as they battle to hold the chemical industry accountable for the devastation caused by the toxic pesticide Agent Orange.
Used extensively during the Vietnam War, components of which are still sprayed domestically for forestry and agricultural purposes, Agent Orange has left a trail of environmental destruction and human suffering across generations. The film is a poignant investigation into corporate deception, government neglect, and the resilience of communities fighting back.
Special Guest Appearance / Discussion Panel:
Following the screening, a discussion panel with Carol Van Strum and Susan Swift will offer the audience an opportunity to engage with environmental activists, scientists, and local advocates who continue the fight for justice and environmental accountability.
