Vietnam's Lingering Ghost: Facing the Legacy of Agent Orange; A Village All Their Own World Report reveals the ghost that the United States left behind when our troops left Vietnam – Agent Orange. Greg Dobbs traveled to Vietnam for a report that reveals hundreds of people – especially children born years after the war - suffer from grotesque, debilitating deformities, mental retardation and cancer. Many Vietnamese believe these conditions are a direct result of Agent Orange. Should the U.S. be doing more to help the children who are still suffering over 30 years after the war? Next, meet the women of Uganda's Friendship Village. With hard work and help from an American non-profit, these women have lifted themselves out of utter poverty and created a self-sustaining, hopeful community. World Report airs Tuesdays at 9pmET on HDNet.
