Since the 1970's, many American, Australian and New Zealand Vietnam vets have suffered health problems, some believe as a result of their exposure to chemicals during the war. Many of their children also suffer a range of illnesses and disabilities.

Deborah Challinor tells the New Zealand story for the first time, with the assistance of Elizabeth Lancaster, wife of a veteran and mother of two disabled children. In Part One they background the problem, detailing the issue internationally. In Part Two, five New Zealand families tell their stories.
