The people of Niger,
one of the poorest countries in the world, suffer
from a host of forgotten, parasitic diseases.
Schistosomiasis and Lymphatic Filariasis blight the
lives of millions creating an infant morality rate
among the worst in the world. Yet the drugs which
can cure these and other neglected diseases are
cheap and safe to use. Now there is an ambitious
goal - to eliminate five neglected diseases in just
five years. We tell the heart-rending stories of
some of those who have died, suffered and survived.
Part of a 8 x 45-minute documentary series produced
for the BBC. These films can be bought individually
