Das Fieber
Stadtkino
The subject of Katharina Weingartner's stirring documentary is malaria, which kills one person every minute in East Africa. The director is not interested in presenting benign images of suffering, but rather in raising awareness and making visible local initiatives that conduct their own research and provide aid. And often against considerable resistance, such as the paternalism of the WHO, which one of the protagonists denounces as "neo-colonialism". A gripping educational piece. [Cinema VOD Club]
