to promote
the production of
aids and equipment for and by people

far
as
possible, from locally available materials,
AHRTAG does
this by;
disseminating
information
about
such
aids using designs and ideas developed
in centres around the world;
providing

THE GREAT HEALTH ROBBERY, OXFAM. 1981. col.
21 mins. In the Third World, a huge range of
western drugs is freely available on the open
market. Many are totally inappropriate, some
potentially dangerous. The Yemen provides a good
example of this, and also of the invasion of
baby-milks, the misuse of which often leads to
diarrhoea and death from dehydration. The film
explores both situations, and suggests that
present commercial promotion leaves a lot to be
desired.

Infant formula sales are rapidly increasing in

easy before giving birth, but in New Guinea and
India the women work in the fields until the last
minute. They do not appear to suffer so much in
childbirth. Must we re-learn things which come
naturally to them, or are they merely philosophical
about accepting pain.

THE FAMILY OF MAN. DEATH. B.B.C. 1974. B/W
50 mins. In New Guinea the spirits of the dead
haunt the living, and it is much the same in
Botswana where the witch-doctor mediates. In
Hong Kong graves must be as permanent as possible
and many sacrifices have to be made, whereas in
the Himalayas the bodies are burned, in accordance
with Hindu customs, and the young children must
watch. This is contrasted with our own antiseptic
cremations, and we are asked whether if by sweep
ing the unpleasantness of death under the carpet
we are not also denying ourselves a part of life.

WATER : THE HAZARDOUS NECESSITY. USA. col. 21 mins.
Every day, 25,000 people in developing countries die
from..using unsafe water, and until recently the problem
has been largely ignored. For poor countries, provid
ing clean water is seldom a high national priority partly because the effects of unsafe water are not
immediately visible, but also because there is no quick
economic return. The film document several of the water
borne tropical diseases plaguing Africa, and examines
the economic and social conditions which allow them to
flourish.
SEEDS OF HEALTH. Barefoot Films for the World Council
of Churches and the WHO. 1976. col. 44 mins.
Guatemala is a country where the majority of the
population are desperately poor. The peasants have been
exploited by rich landowners, butnow there are schemes
by which young Indians are trained to work in their own
communities. There they teach nutrition and basic
health care related to local needs and resources
and not necessarily promoting the Wests concept of
health. They manage by co-operation to break out
of the vicious circle, to buy land and plant crops
such as potatoes to improve their diet. A very positive
film to show that there are signs of hope, even in the
poorest countries.

ZIMBABWE - THE STRUGGLE FOR HEALTH. Central Television

but finds the task enormous. The medical profession
there is not certain that its role extends beyond

how he went over to India with hardly any money and
no idea how to start, but with the faith that the
need for homes there was great, and that something

land, and in fact used tents and hills. After set
backs he was able to start many establishments, and
hand them over to be run and financed entirely by,
a local committee, as is always the case with the
homes.

1 - International travel is increasing our
exposure to exotic diseases, among them malaria.
Eradication campaigns have only met with limited

life cycle and pathology of malaria. The
chemistry and historical development of modern
antimalarials are relieved.

SCHISTOSOMASIS; THE POSSIBILITY OF CONTROL BY
IMMUNIZATION/G.S. Nelson, London School of Hygiene
and Tropical Medicine. 1974. 38 mins.
The programme is introduced with an illustrated
amount of the life cycle, geographical distribution,
clinical features and the methods used for the con
trol of schistosomiasis. Nearly 200 million people
are infected, and although effective drugs and
chemicals are available for killing the parasites
and small hosts, the disease is becoming more
prevalent - mainly as a result of water resource
development for agriculture and hydro-electiricity.
People acquire some degree of immunity to reinfect
ion, and a strong resistance to reinfection can be
produced in laboratory animlas. Experiments with
baboons and sheep are used to illustrate
vaccination procedures using either irradiated
homologous cercariae or nonpathogenic heterologous
or hybrid parasites.
