Sleeping Sickness is
the deadliest disease in the world. The Democratic
Republic of Congo suffers more cases than any other
country. Without treatment, parasites called
trypanosomes invade the victim’s brain, ravage their
sleep cycle, driving them mad before finally killing
them. But dedicated doctors and medics are fighting
back. We tell the stories of those who have lost
family to the disease and of the lucky ones who have
survived this deadly disease. This is the
heart-rending story of people who have to keep
fighting to survive, despite this terrible disease
taking lives in their villages every day.
Part of a 8 x 45-minute series produced for the BBC.
