Fight Disease
Most people will come face to face with a serious illness over the course of their lives. Not only are we still contending with diseases that have plagued the populace for decades, such as polio and malaria, but we are also facing the advent of new diseases and the unknown effects of chemical contamination on our bodies. Films found here cover a wide range of diseases and their contributing factors, including HIV/AIDS, polio, autism, cancer, bipolar disorder, eating disorders, drug addiction, hoarding, inadequate sanitation and clean drinking water, concerns about food safety and controversial research such as stem cell treatment. Watch these films and join the fight to eradicate diseases during your lifetime.
