About this movie

In May of 1995, the deadliest disease known to the human species emerged from a Zairian rain forrest - Ebola. Immediately, international media descended on a dusty Zairian town to chase the hottest story of the moment. We travel with the local Red Cross, whose workers risk their lives collecting contaminated corpses. We follow local doctors tending to the sick in isolation wards - where bleeding ebola patients spend their last agonizing moments. In the rain forrest, medical students search for patient zero while scientists desperately seek a cure to stop a global pandemic.
