Das Fieber
Stadtkino
The subject of Katharina Weingartner's stirring documentary is malaria, which kills one person every minute in East Africa. The director's aim is not to show cheap images of suffering, but to raise awareness and make visible local initiatives that carry out independent 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.
