Independent since 1960, Somalia has seen virtually constant political upheaval. Chaos still reigns in the capital, Mogadishu, and throughout Somalia. Some eighty percent of the nation is under the power of guerrillas and local warlords. Taking advantage of the chaos, Islamic fundamentalist groups such as al Qaeda frequently infiltrate. Suspected to be the main financial source for al Qaeda, all assets in the al Barakaat bank, the country’s main bank, were frozen and remittances from workers abroad to their families at home were stopped, which aggravated the confusion and deepened poverty in the nation. Finally, Somalia has become a target in the post-Afghanistan "war" against terrorism. College Adult

After 40 years of uninterrupted war, Vietnam eventually came out of it, on April 30, 1975. Yet the US army left a poison which is invisible today: dioxin. This powerful chemical weapon, produced by the multinational company Monsanto and better known as "Agent Orange", took possession of Vietnam's earth, water, and vegetation. Billions of Vietnamese people are victims of dioxin. They are suffering from serious deformities and cancers. 40 years after the last spreading, dioxin keeps wreaking havoc. Beyond the Vietnamese case, what are the States' responsibilities concerning their weapons choices and uses during armed conflicts? What are the potential compensations towards the victims and the devastated countries?
Doriane Films, Orchidées avec le soutien de Orange Dihoxyn, Demain le Monde - 57mn - Versions française et anglaise.
Le film Agent Orange, une bombe à retardement ouvre le dossier douloureux d’un drame peu médiatisé qui touche aujourd’hui des millions de Vietnamiens sur plusieurs générations.
Après 40 années de guerre ininterrompue contre la France puis les États-Unis, le Vietnam sort enfin de la guerre, le 30 avril 1975. Pourtant, en partant, l’armée américaine laisse un poison aujourd’hui invisible: la dioxine.Cette arme chimique puissante, plus connue sous le nom d’Agent Orange, produite par la multinationale Monsanto, a pris possession de la terre, des eaux, de la végétation vietnamienne.
Des millions de Vietnamiens sont victimes de la dioxine, atteints de lourdes malformations, de cancers. 40 ans après les derniers épandages, la dioxine continue de faire des ravages.
Au-delà du cas vietnamien, quelle est la responsabilité des États dans le choix des armes et de leur utilisation en cas de conflit armé? Quelles sont les réparations possibles envers les victimes et les pays dévastés?
