Entre 1964 y 1971, Estados Unidos roció Vietnam con 45 millones de litros de agente naranja. Cuatro décadas después, las selvas más fuertemente afectadas todavía no han vuelto a crecer. En su lugar abunda ahora una especie herbácea, el cogón, considerada una de las peores malas hierbas de todo el mundo.”

“Thierry was one. An award winning documentary film producer based in Paris. Her curiosity was not driven so much by his fame or talent, with which he was generously endowed on both counts, but by his elusiveness. He had a reputation for chasing the most complicated and dangerous assignments that others considered too risky. He had money for all occasions. He had a reputation among men as a man with a reputation among women.”
