Abstract
Every era has its new diseases. AIDS is not the first and it won’t be the last. Our history and destiny are shaped by our diseases. Filmed in the UK, USA, Europe, Australia and Asia, Plagued is a 4 part series which investigates the relationship between history, destiny and disease. Conceived, written and narrated by award-winning medical broadcaster Dr Norman Swan, this series examines the meaning of health and disease; explores the complex influences on the wellbeing of humanity; shows how disease has changed the course of history; how it could do so again and puts the role of medicine into a much broader and far more controversial perspective. --NFSA Films
