“Fragile Lives—Immunization
at Risk”
Writer, Producer, and Director: Jenny Barraclough
Executive Producer: Scott Wittet, PATH's Children's Vaccine Program (www.childrensvaccines.org),
with WHO and UNICEF as production partners.
Hailed as "the greatest public health success
story of all time," today childhood immunization faces obstacles never
seen before. While immunization still saves three million young lives each
year, millions more could be saved if there were enough vaccine and enough
political will to protect all children in need.
Sometimes war is the enemy of immunization,
sometimes ethnic distrust, rumors and misinformation. But there are heroes
as well-people dedicated to bringing immunization to every child,
everywhere. Filmed on location in Africa, Asia, and Europe, "Fragile
Lives-Immunization at Risk" brings to life the human face of immunization,
its promises, and its challenges.
"Fragile Lives" is an independent film
written, produced and directed by Jenny Barraclough of Barraclough
Productions, based in the UK.
