This year we are happy to partner with the Â鶹´«Ã½ÍøÕ¾ International TB Centre to present the 2019 Â鶹´«Ã½ÍøÕ¾ Global Health Film Festival. Split over two evenings the film festival will explore the often untold stories of the TB community.
Join us Thursday March 21st on Â鶹´«Ã½ÍøÕ¾'s downtown campus, to learn more about how TB is portrayed in film and print media with a panel that includes patient activist Priya Amin. The evening will also feature a screening of the film "TB Unmasked" (), which tells the stories of frontline healthcare workers fighting TB.Ìý
Then on Friday March 22nd, the Film Festival will continue with a screening of "The Necessities of Life (Ce qu'il faut pour vivre)" ().
