National film documentary shot in western Africa with former President Jimmy Carter and noted epidemiologist Dr. Donald Hopkins, the film chronicles the efforts of an international coalition to eradicate Guinea worm disease, which affects seventeen million people. Contrasting the spirit of the African people with the devastation caused by this ancient disease, the film celebrates the success of this coalition. The program aired on WHYY-TV, Philadelphia public television.
