In honor of World Health Day, YouTube is highlighting the Oscar-nominated film set in the slums of India: The Final Inch. It’s an inspiring short documentary about a group of dedicated workers who are going door-to-door to give polio vaccines to children in the poorest areas of India.
It’s good. You can spare 39 minutes to watch it!
From the YouTube blog:
Since polio no longer exists in the developed world, many assume that the crippling disease has been eradicated. Sadly, this isn’t true. Polio is still a reality in the world’s poorest countries. Created by our friends at Google.org and Vermillion Films, this captivating 38-minute film brings to light the global challenge of polio eradication and tells the story of those who are on the front lines helping the most vulnerable — children under five living in some of the world’s most destitute regions.
