The human stories behind the deadly infection TB

A deadly airborne disease is making a dramatic comeback in Swaziland. Passed on by a simple cough or sneeze, TB is travelling fast and now new, multidrug resistant variants are starting to appear all over the world.

MultiBAFTA winning filmmaker Jezza Neumann creates a very intimate account of the crippling effects of MDRTB. We witness victims from two families battling with the disease over the course of a year. We start in deep rural Swaziland near the border of South Africa. Here lives Bheki, a builder who is fanatical about football and who recently learnt that both he and his sister have MDRTB. As time passes his sister’s condition deteriorates and Bheki starts to become increasingly depressed and suicidal.
