PARTNER PROJECT

Fatal Neglect (2012)

THE PROJECT

A multi-part documentary film project that tells the stories of the millions of patients left behind by the global health revolution. 

FATAL NEGLECT: The Global Health Revolution’s Forgotten Patients documents the impact of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis and some of the deadliest neglected tropical diseases: “kala azar” and “sleeping sickness.” These diseases affect millions of people and kill hundreds of thousands each year, yet garner little attention from drug developers, policymakers, or the mass media.
