The People vs. Agent Orange is a powerful documentary that uncovers the truth behind the Agent Orange scandal and its devastating effects. It dives into the story of how the chemical-contamination through aerial spraying of herbicides during the Vietnam War led to a government and corporate cover-up, causing birth defects, cancer clusters, and other health issues. The film exposes the role played by companies like Monsanto, Dow Chemical Company, and Bayer, and examines the battle for justice against powerful business interests.

Atomic Homefront is a documentary that exposes the environmental contamination and health risks caused by the illegal dumping of nuclear waste in St. Louis, Missouri. The film explores the history of the issue, from the Manhattan Project to the present day, and follows the courageous activists and victims fighting for environmental justice and a safer future.

Before the creation of the secret cities of Los Alamos, Oak Ridge and Hanford, the Manhattan Project hired the Mallinckrodt Chemical Works of St. Louis to refine the first uranium used in the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima. For the next two decades, Mallinckrodt continued its classified work for the Atomic Energy Commission during the Cold War. The resulting radioactive waste contaminated numerous locations in the St. Louis area some of which have not been cleaned up 70 years after the end of World War II. Told through the eyes of an overexposed worker, the story expands through a series of interviews that careen down a toxic pathway leading to a fiery terminus at a smoldering, radioactively-contaminated landfill. The First Secret City reveals a forgotten history and its continuing impact on the community in the 21st Century, uncovering past wrongdoing and documenting the renewed struggles to confront the issue.
