Winner of the 2017 Jabuti Book Prize The Zika virus is devastating
lives and communities. Children across the Americas are being born
with severe disabilities because of it. Yet during the desolating
outbreak, Brazil played host to both the Olympics and the FIFA
World Cup, leading many to suspect that the true impact of the
virus has been subject to a cover-up of international proportions.
Beginning in the northeast, where the devastation has been most
felt, professor of bioethics and award-winning documentary
filmmaker Debora Diniz travels across Brazil tracing the virus's
origin and spread. Along the journey she meets a host of fearless
families, doctors and scientists uncovering the virus's impact on
local communities. In doing so Diniz paints a vivid picture of the
Zika epidemic, exposing the Brazilian government's complicity in
allowing the virus to spread while championing the efforts of local
doctors and mothers who, working together, are raising awareness of
the virus and fighting for the rights of children affected by Zika.
