Synopsis:
Ebola virus disease (EVD) or Ebola hemorrhagic fever (EHF) is the human
disease which may be caused by any of four of the five known ebola
viruses. These four viruses are: Bundibugyo virus (BDBV), Ebola virus
(EBOV), Sudan virus (SUDV), and Taï Forest virus (TAFV, formerly and
more commonly Côte d'Ivoire Ebola virus (Ivory Coast Ebolavirus,
CIEBOV)). EVD is a viral hemorrhagic fever (VHF), and is clinically
nearly indistinguishable from Marburg virus disease (MVD).
The name comes from Ebola River in Republic of the Congo, where it was first found.
This
Documentary deals with a very crucial issue related to health and tries
to inform people about the intensity of this problem. Ebola can easily
be declared as the most terrifying virus ever as it has all tendencies
to kill people. Its first outbreak was in 1995 in Zaire and killed
almost 77 percent of people affected by it. Kikwit, the affected area,
was separated from other parts of the village in order to limit the
virus and protect other areas from its deadly impact. But what it did to
the victims was very horrible and painful.
Let's have a look at
the credentials of "Ebola -- Most Terrifying Virus Ever". It is
directed by Ric Esther Bienstock with a script from Elliott Halpern and
Simcha Jacobovici and acted out by William Close, Russell Coleman and
Stacy keach with support from other actors as well. As far as production
is concerned, there are some big names here also like Associated
Producers Group Inc., Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) and
Channel 4 Television Corporation.
The documentary contains clips
of the people who lived with this virus until they died. And it shows
all the steps that this virus took to end its host. Ebola broke down
every system in their body slowly and dissolved all the internal organs
and connective tissues thus, damaging the body completely without any
hope of recovery. The makers of the film talk with the experts and
discuss the nature and complexities of Ebola.
A very interesting
and important part of the film is when experts talk about the future
of this virus. And the news is not good at all, experts fear that
another outbreak would be even more deadly and is going to affect more
people. Kikwit was horrible but the next outbreak will be massive and
unstoppable.
