3 Billion and Counting (2010)
dynamic documentary reveals hidden lies about DDT and malaria
Since 1972, there has been a US ban on DDT. Why? Therein lies the mystery revealed in this movie. DDT was safely used in the 1940s and 1950s, eradicating malaria in the US and most of the western world. However, behind-the-scenes machinations led to the first FDA ban of a perfectly safe and effective insecticide.
Dr. Rutledge Taylor searched Africa, India and other remote third world countries to determine the truth about malaria, its death-count and the reasons why millions are still dying -- when a SAFE protection is cheap, effective and available. This movie shocked me, and also lifted my spirits! Something CAN be done to save lives, immediately!
The cinematography is beautiful. The theme song by Deborah Gibson is haunting, memorable. Drama, mystery and excitement -- all appear in this non-fictional showcase of TRUTH.
