Spanish Flu: H5N1’s Deadly Ancestor

The influenza pandemic of 1918 killed an estimated 50 million people worldwide. This program examines recent efforts to gain a more rigorous understanding of the outbreak and its implications for today’s global community. Although the Spanish flu caused far more fatalities than World War I, the film shows how large-scale trench warfare amplified the spread of the virus. Frantic methods used by urban centers to fight the advance of the disease are also studied. Experts in epidemiology and emergency medicine reconstruct the Spanish flu’s 18-month rampage and explore scientific evidence linking old and new killer flu strains. (54 minutes)
