A story of hope: This film tracks the crucial early stages of Save the Children’s STOP Polio programme, an initiative aiming to eradicate the disease that tragically kills or cripples half a million children annually. It is a vital look at the effort to confine Polio to history.

Tells the story of the first vital stages in a programme that will take many years, and aims to rid the world of a disease that strikes particularly the children. Each year some half a million children in the third world are killed or crippled by Polio, yet if they had been immunised by the age of two, they would nave been saved from disease for the rest of their lives. A film about hope – the hope that one day Save the Children’s STOP Polio programme and the disease it is combating will exist on the screen alone.
