Washington D.C (VNA) – A 35-minute documentary about a Vietnamese
teenage victim of Agent Orange (AO) was screened at the US Senate headquarters
in Washington DC on June 28.
The event was held by the War Legacies Project (WLP), US Senate and the Vietnamese
Embassy in the US.
Senator Patrick Leahy affirmed he will continue to endorse two countries’
relations, including cooperation to recover war and AO consequences in Vietnam.
By mobilising support from the US Senate, he hoped Vietnamese AO victims will
receive more attention from the US public.
For his part, Vietnamese Ambassador Pham Quang Vinh thanked Leahy and his
colleagues for backing Vietnam and helping Vietnamese war victims.
He also expressed his gratitude to the director, Courtney Marsh, for
spending
eight years making such a touching documentary, which was nominated for
the 88th edition of the Oscars in the short documentary category.
