The Story of Cholera: Sudanese Arabic

Global Health Media Project and Yoni Goodman
A short animated film produced by the Global Health Media Project (globalhealthmedia.org) in collaboration with Yoni Goodman (yonigoodman.com). This film makes visible the invisible cholera germs as a young boy shows how to help the sick and guides his village in preventing the spread of cholera.

The film shows how to make the basic homemade oral rehydration solution using sugar, salt, and safe water as these items were felt to be most widely available. However, a solution prepared with a readymade ORS packet is the first choice if supplies are available.
