Malaria Business

The documentary

In 2017, malaria continues to kill a child every two minutes, and the vaccine promised for 2018 is ultimately only effective in 30% of cases. Meanwhile, researchers, mostly from Africa, reveal that a simple herbal tea can effectively prevent and treat malaria. Used in China for 2,000 years, this plant is nevertheless discouraged by the WHO and banned in France and Belgium.

Few films can hope to save lives. By telling the story of those fighting to ensure the widespread distribution of artemisia, this film challenges the institutions that have claimed to have been fighting malaria for fifty years.
