Sell Sheet Sampler: A fascinating clip from the film ‘Malaria Parasites’
A 'sell sheet' (also called a 'one sheet') is a film/video licensing industry term for summary publicity. 'Sell Sheet Sampler' is a continuing feature on our blog where we showcase fascinating clips, which, while part of a digital sell sheet, are of interest to a large audience."We estimate that there are more than a million deaths from malaria each year. That's like 7 jumbo jets going down every day. And 90% of those deaths are in children."
We've heard about organizations like nothingbutnets.net attempting to control malaria spreading mosquitoes through the use of simple mosquito nets. But this highly practical solution, while urgently needed, distracts from another question: why is it that 30 years ago malaria in Africa was no more serious than the flu? This clip from the documentary Malaria Parasites (produced and distributed by Journeyman Productions) examines the impact of deadly imitation drugs sold illegally and how they have contributed to the rapidity with which the malaria parasite has developed resistance to previously successful drugs. Now there are signs that the one remaining effective drug against malaria is also weakening. This is a story about humanitarian organizations and government bodies failing to address all levels of a problem, and a situation reaching a crisis point.
Required viewing for all policy makers, politicians, and potential candidates.
