Ebola, one
of the most deadly viruses known to humankind, struck a town in Zaire in
January 1995, ultimately causing the agonizing death of 80 percent of its
victims—many of them health-care workers. This riveting documentary traces
the progress of this outbreak and reports on its aftermath. Doctors at the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention discuss current research, the
virus’s possible reemergence, and what the international medical community
is doing to prepare itself. We visit a ready-response medical unit where
health-care workers are being trained to deal with future outbreaks. English
narration and subtitles. (61 minutes)
