Few Americans have any real idea of the conditions of life in parts of India and this film gives an excellent view of the challenges of life in the slums, especially regarding health and sanitation. You see polio vaccination volunteers, Rotary members and health workers plodding through garbage, crossing rivers and facing extreme suspicion and prejudice as they try to reach every child. Once they reach a family, we see them labor to convince the parents that they are not there to hurt their baby, but to prevent it from getting polio, a disease that can cripple and kill. Yes, polio still exists in the world and ruins thousands of lives a year. It really opened my eyes and I can't recommend this film enough.

excellent information on last polio cases in worldand resistance to polio vaccine

This presents the efforts to finally eradicate polio worldwide. It's a disease I remember from childhood and struck many of the people I know. It is still doing so in the final few countries where eradication efforts are underway. This is a sensitive and educating reminder of the importance of completing the job. The intent of this DVD is to promote and support that final effort. I highly recommend viewing it and showing it to all you can. Rotary International is one organization actively making efforts and raising funds to complete this eradication.

This documentary provides an honest insight of challenges faced by volunteers in the fight to eradicate polio. It also shares the personal struggles of polio survivors all the while emphasizing the absolute need to continue the fight in ending polio once and for all. A very riveting documentary that will leave you silent, shaking your head in disbelief and a lump in your throat! More importantly it will inspire you to do something to join the fight! A must-see!

Does a great job of capturing the hardships in India and the heroes who are out there in the fight against Polio. A personalized look at Polio...a very moving film.

Since 1987 Rotary International has worked tirelessly to eradicate Polio throughout the world.In more than 33,000 Rotary Clubs throughout the world, local Rotarians are giving their time,sweat and money to rid the world of this horrible disease of small children.
We made a promise to the children of the world that we Would eliminate polio and give them the opportunity to walk,run and play on strong,healthy limbs.
We will keep our promise.

Very good and illustrates the challenges for those who are out in the field doing the hard yards to get the final vaccinations done.
