Andrew Nisker's Ground War is deeply personal investigation into the death of the filmmaker's father. Harold Nisker was a “health nut,” a man who exercised diligently. For decades, Harold played golf every day except for winter: it kept him fit and he loved the game. It was only after his father's shocking death by lymphatic cancer that Andrew began to wonder why the golf course he played in was so uniformly green and manicured. His discovery that one of the chemicals used at the course was part of Agent Orange, the notorious “defoliant” that killed countless Vietnamese during the Vietnam War sets Nisker on a journey that takes him to the original quite weedy and bumpy Scottish golf course, Donald Trump's Americanized version of it, and a look at chemical pesticides as a potential cause of cancer. <1h 18mn 43s>
