Also Known AsResistance Fighters – The Global Antibiotics Crisis
About Resistance Fighters – The Global Antibiotics Crisis
The UN General Assembly regards antibiotic-resistance as a "global and most urgent threat". The WHO alarms that we could fall back into a "post-antibiotic age". The film tells us how we got there: It is a story about how negligence, greed, and short-sightedness have rendered the lifesaving effects of antibiotics powerless. It is a science-thriller about disillusioned, fighting doctors, rebellious scientists, patients wrestling with life-threatening diseases and diplomats searching for a global solution. They all are Resistance Fighters.
Directed by Michael Wech, Resistance Fighters – The Global Antibiotics Crisis leans on a strong ensemble — Patrick Winczewski, Tanveer Ahmed, Edward Allera — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 2019.
