This program explains why the pneumococcus bacterium has run rampant in the underdeveloped world, and explores recent medical breakthroughs that may help reverse the deadly pattern. Interviews with prominent researchers—including Dr. Keith Klugman and Dr. Orin Levine, two scientists leading an initiative to distribute a new vaccine throughout Africa—demonstrate the possibility of eradicating pneumococcal diseases. Footage from hospitals struggling to treat children and infants in remote areas shows the real-world challenges of such efforts.\n
