Vermont media outlets are picking up the compelling work that is being accomplished by our Vermont-based non-profit. The successful completion of our animated film on cholera is garnering attention for both the disease itself and the tools that the Global Health Media Project is working on to combat its spread.
Today, the Burlington Free Press published the following story:
Although it may not show its face often in the United States, the deadly disease cholera is alive and well. The World Health Organization reports an estimated 3 million to 5 million cholera cases annually, resulting in 100,000 to 120,000 deaths worldwide. Cholera can kill quickly and spread easily.
The Global Health Media Project of Waitsfield has joined the fight against cholera. The company’s director, Deborah Van Dyke, collaborated with award-winning animator Yoni Goodman to produce the short film “The Story of Cholera.”
An article on the film, entitled Van Dyke’s Global Health Media Project releases film, was published in The Valley Reporter (Waitsfield) on December 22, 2011.
