Agent Orange Story: Unnatural Causes, The

Last Minute Sales & Specials

A powerful drama that immediately attracted award nominations, "Unnatural Causes" stars John Ritter and Alfre Woodard as a courageous and compassionate team struggling to link the illnesses of Vietnam veterans to their wartime exposure to the defoliant chemical, Agent Orange. It was a valiant campaign which culminates in a landmark $180 million settlement in favor of the veterans. Ritter plays veteran Frank Coleman, who was exposed to the defoliant, and Alfre Woodard is cast as Maude DeVictor, the Veterans Administration counselor who campaigned the veterans cause. Top recording star, Patti LaBelle, plays Maude's friend, Jeanette, who warns that life at the VA can be difficult when they want you silenced. Intense and compelling, the drama opens in the Vietnamese jungle where defoliants are sprayed to kill to cover which Viet Cong use for protection. Ten years later Frank and Maude come together to begin their investigation.
