Heartbreaking portraits of the everyday struggle and horrifying effects Agent Orange victims continue to suffer some 40 years after the US war are the inspiration for a photo exhibition opened in HCM City on August 8
On showcase at the HCM City-based War Remnant Museum are 50 photos taken by Nguyen Van (Thu An), with a focus on the lingering pains of AO victims from across the country, as well as their constant efforts to overcome difficulties and miseries to have a better life in happiness and peace.
 
 
Photographer Nguyen Van An said he submitted photos to international contests to help friends worldwide understand more about the plight of Vietnamese dioxin victims and their great aspiration for life. He hoped that visitors to the exhibition will voice support and provide assistance to dioxin sufferers.
On the occasion, local students and soldiers participated in music and dance performances in praise of the bravery of dioxin victims and the significant contributions soldiers have made to protecting national sovereignty over sea and islands.
