Annabella's Story
directed by Andrew Veitch; produced by Richard Wilson and Dick Bower (London, England: SW Pictures, 2009), 26 mins
Uganda has been hit hard by the HIV/AIDS epidemic. However, the country is now fighting back and the number of Ugandans infected has dropped from 15% to 6%.

Uganda has been hit hard by the HIV/AIDS epidemic. However, the country is now fighting back and the number of Ugandans infected has dropped from 15% to 6%. Part of this can be attributed to access to ARV's, particularly for children. Recently Annabella was told she had HIV. Her mother was ill and her father died of AIDS shortly after. Luckily both Annabella and her mother have had access to ARVs, meaning that they are able to carry on with life as normal. Without these her mother would not be able to work in the fields and feed her family and Annabella would not be able to help when her mother is not feeling up to it. Annabella can go to school and carry on learning, and contemplate having a baby that is HIV free. Without these drugs Annabella, and many people like her, have little hope.

More and more elderly Americans are choosing to spend their later years in assisted living facilities, which have sprung up as an alternative to nursing homes.

Vaccinating children in developing countries can be hard work. It’s a huge challenge – especially when there are long distances to travel, there’s not enough staff and there is the need to keep vaccines at the right temperature. Trying to do it during a war or in times of conflict, when young lives are even more at risk, makes it almost impossible. Kill or Cure? goes to the Democratic Republic of the Congo, which is still recovering from a long and brutal civil war, to see how it’s done. Over 17,000 UN troops are still on duty in the Congo trying to keep the peace. It’s dangerous work. They have the highest casualty rate of any UN peace-keeping mission – last year alone eight solders were killed. We go with them on patrol and with the vaccination teams trying to bring measles under control.

A chemical developed by China for use by the Vietcong in the Vietnam War to fight malaria is providing new hope for millions of malaria sufferers. The chemical called artemisinin, which is extracted from the ginghao plant, is providing new hope for millions of malaria sufferers. The plant is grown in vast quantities in China and could do much to fight malaria, particularly in Africa, like in Burkina Faso where we meet the patients that will benefit, but the yield from the plant is too low and generating quantities to meet demand could be tricky, this is where scientists at Edinburgh University in the UK come in. They have been developing a technique to engineer a variety of the plant with much higher yields.

We travel to Poona in India where the very latest rubella vaccines are under development and we find out about the new methods of delivery and production. We filmed in the Dominican Republic in Central America where CRS is a major cause of disabilities. It's estimated that if rubella was brought under control in the Dominican Republic, it would save the country $65 million dollars. Rubella appears as a mild rash, but when caught by a pregnant woman, it has devastating consequences on the unborn child. With congenital rubella syndrome, or CRS, the child can end up deaf, partially blind and with heart and brain defects. In many poorer, developing countries CRS is a major problem.

The Bete Noire of Big Pharma is making a comeback – this time as a treatment for Blood Cancers. Thalidomide is the drug best known for causing deformities in thousands of children in Europe and the USA, but in May 2006, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved thalidomide for use in combination with another drug, dexamethasone, to treat newly diagnosed multiple myeloma. Other Stage 3 trials should soon lead to new licenses for more cancers. Drug dosage is the key issue. We film with Paul Nichols at the New York marathon. He was diagnosed with cancer in 2002 and entered the Revlimid trial in January 2006. He has been in full remission since then and now takes the drug on a monthly prescription. For Paul, thalidomide is a miracle drug.
