It’s a fight not on a foreign battlefield, but in doctors’ offices and against a wall of bureaucracy. They are sick, and they believe the cause is Agent Orange, a toxic herbicide used by the U.S. military to clear vegetation during the war. While the government acknowledges its devastating health effects—including multiple cancers, diabetes, and Parkinson’s—it only provides special benefits to veterans who served in specific “presumptive exposure locations.” 10:36 - Explore a mental health epidemic within the construction industry. The construction industry is known for its physical dangers, where the motto “Safety First” is a common refrain on job sites. However, one of the greatest risks to a construction worker’s life isn’t a fall or a machinery accident. 15:17 - Visit the high-tech future of urban farming.

While the technology is promising, it faces multiple hurdles. 18:36 - Meet an octogenarian World War II survivor who is the definition of strength.
