Gagetown Documentary

I'm not sure how many of you have heard about the agent orange scandal but it's really crazy that this happened just outside our city. I meet the filmmakers of this film and will be helping out with the production side of things so I'm stoked to be a part of a project like this.

Here's the official description of the film.

"Gagetown is a documentary film currently in production. The purpose of the film is to shine a light on the story of CFB Gagetown, the largest military training facility in Eastern Canada. Located in New Brunswick, 80 miles from the Maine border, the base was sprayed with more than 1.3 million liters of liquid defoliants and 1 million kilograms of dry powder defoliants over a 28 year period from 1956 to 1984. These chemicals have caused sickness and death in thousands of people, but the Canadian government has systematically denied any responsibility for its actions, blaming the American military, and shamefully abandoned her veterans and citizens. This film will tell the personal story of the warriors who continue to fight today for justice and acceptance in the face of bureaucratic lies, deception, and denials."
