Chau, Beyond the Lines (video)

We follow a Vietnamese teenager disabled by Agent Orange as he struggles to realise his dream of becoming an artist.
More than 40 years after the fall of Saigon, the scars of the Vietnam War are still visible.

Born in the Agent Orange hot spot of Dong Nai, in 1991, Chau has a rare disability caused by Dioxin - the chemical found in Agent Orange.

During the Vietnam War, the United States is estimated to have dropped more than 70 million litres of chemicals on to the dense jungles of the country in order to rid the Northern Vietnamese army of their food and cover. Unknowingly, Chau's mother drank from a contaminated river while pregnant with him.
