Resistance Fighters – The Global Antibiotics Crisis backdrop

Resistance Fighters – The Global Antibiotics Crisis 2019 Directed by Michael Wech Resistance Fighters – Die globale Antibiotika-Krise

The UN General Assembly regards antibiotic-resistance as a "global and most urgent threat". The WHO alarms that we could fall back into a "post-antibiotic age". The film tells us how we got there: It is a story about how negligence, greed, and short-sightedness have rendered the lifesaving effects of antibiotics powerless. It is a science-thriller about disillusioned, fighting doctors, rebellious scientists, patients wrestling with life-threatening diseases and diplomats searching for a global solution. They all are Resistance Fighters.
