5.0 out of 5 stars Good film on complicated subject, May 11, 2006
This review is from: Fragile Lives--Vaccines and Immunization at Risk (DVD)
I used to be in the Peace Corps in Africa and have seen what these diseases can do to families there. African parents know how important vaccines are to protect their kids--sometimes they walk for miles to attend a vaccination session. This movie shows that side of things, but also the "behind the scenes" work by health workers, WHO, and others who make immunization happen every day. I think it's a great reminder for anyone who wonders why we need vaccines any more.

5.0 out of 5 stars Vaccines we take for granted are luxuries in 3rd world, January 3, 2006

This review is from: Fragile Lives--Vaccines and Immunization at Risk (DVD)
I saw this on the BBC last year. The film maker did a good job showing how parents in the developing world struggle to get the medicines for their children that we take for granted. All the stories are engaging and, one, in particular, is heartbreaking (a little girl from Ireland). The director did a good job of making complex problems easier to understand, without condescending. I recommend it for schools and universities, church groups, clinic waiting rooms, and anyone interested in global health challenges.
