In this 4-and-a-half minute- yet surprisingly gripping- documentary directed by Anne Heslop, the horrors of Malaria in impoverished areas such as Orissa, India, are filmed firsthand. Preventative measures are highlighted and described, as the problem is addressed by those who have observed the devastation with their own eyes.
In 9-and-a-half minutes, Americans are shown a reality that is often swept aside: malaria can be spread easily into our own country, unnoticed until infection has spread. This is an informative journey of a mosquito's hidden parasite into the U.S., combined with an in-depth scientific look inside the human body as infection spreads.
In a 21-minute talk by Bill Gates, the issues of malaria and mosquitoes are brought to their bones, supported with statistics, and presented in a humorous, down-to-earth yet eloquent fashion. A history and rare facts of malaria are presented accessibly and simply.
