In this staggering work of documentary and poetry, Mai Der Vang reopens a wrongdoing that deserves a new reckoning.

This substance, known as "yellow rain," caused severe illnesses and thousands of deaths. These reports prompted an investigation into allegations that a chemical biological weapon had been used against the Hmong in breach of international treaties.
