The Fever

Malaria has killed more people than all other diseases and wars on Earth combined. In Subsahara Africa one child still dies every sixty seconds. Nobody, including Big Pharma, Bill Gates or the WHO, seems to believe that Africans can find their own solutions. The Fever portrays the fight against malaria in East Africa as a case study in greed and courage.
