Although infectious diseases account for only 10 percent of deaths in developed countries, they cause 60 percent of deaths among the world's poorest people.
OneWorld intends to bring drugs to market at costs affordable to poor people and countries. It has set up a manufacturing and marketing collaborative to begin production of its first drug, which will treat visceral leishmaniasis, a fatal tropical disease transmitted by insect bites that currently afflicts 1.5 million.
Learn about her story in this episode of Uncommon Heroes, funded by the Skoll Foundation. More information at www.skollfoundation.org.

GL. Production dosn't get much better than that. Great case for being here for each other and not for money. Our Solar Energy Pod ><a href="http://www.current.tv/watch/22233281">link</a>

Powerful footage and subject matter. I am glad Victoria founded this company. Let's hope more people do the same.
When you get a chance, I think you might be interested in my pod, "Retiring in Exhile." It's about one couple's relocation to Mexico for health and financial reasons.

It is SHOCKING that I've never heard of this organization. Once again BIG MEDIA fails to deliver information for one reason and one reason only...they are not paid to talk about it.
Bravo for bringing this to our attention...THIS should be plucked from the list and go straight to T.V.
Good message, well shot, and well told.
Fantastic job, you should be very proud of this piece.
Please push this. The world needs these people

This is an amazing story. It's so uplifting to know that a company like this exsists. This is shot beautifully and the story is so compelling. It's sad, scary, and crazy to hear about this disease (that the "whole world forgot"), but this company is giving so many people hope. Thank you for bringing this to the public. This should be on Current.
Please check out "SF Die In" when you get a chance: <a href="http://www.current.com/watch/28212029">link</a>

Beautifully produced. The first 6 minute documentary I have seen that sticks to the facts AND has made 500 people in a room grap for the tissues...
