American Orange:
A Documentary Exposing the Hidden Toxic Legacy of a Texas Citrus Town
American Orange is a feature documentary investigating the hidden toxic legacy beneath Mission, Texas—a celebrated citrus town where some of the world’s most dangerous chemicals, including Agent Orange, were manufactured alongside homes, schools, and families for decades. When her investigation became entangled in a landmark lawsuit, filmmaker Laura Perez was forced to shelve the project. Years later, she returns to uncover the truth about a community still living with the consequences of chemical contamination and exposure.
