A Chinese company will produce a film about Vietnamese Agent Orange (AO) (a poisonous chemical used by US troops during the Vietnamese war) victims, according to the Vietnam News Agency on Monday.

The 100-minute film with an estimated cost of 6-8 million US dollars will include some scenes of war which will be shot in Vietnam, China and the United States.

Famous Chinese scriptwriters, directors, actors and actresses together with Vietnamese AO victims will take part in making the film.

The film's producer, the Yingquiang Media Company in China's Guangdong province, has requested the Vietnam Association of Agent Orange Victims to provide documents and consult it in making the film.

The producer will spend all profits generated from the film on supporting for Vietnamese AO victims. It will, during the time of making the film, also organize drives which call for people in the Southeast Asian region and the world to support the victims in terms of both material and spirit.
