The Story of Ebola

"This animation - produced in collaboration with International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, UNICEF, and Yoni Goodman - brings to life key messages that help people see and understand how Ebola spreads and how to protect themselves and their communities." - Global Health Media

Global Health Media created this video as a response to reports from frontline providers during West Africa's 2014 Ebola outbreak that people were misinformed about the disease and its transmission. Yoni Goodman, creator of the video The Story of Cholera, illustrated this animation (see below for more on The Story of Cholera). 

"The story features a young girl whose grandfather dies from Ebola and puts the rest of her family at risk. The film makes visible the invisible Ebola germs to help people see and understand how Ebola spreads and how to protect themselves. Critical messages are woven through the story so that people better understand Ebola, see themselves within the context of an outbreak, and see how to act in ways that can keep themselves safe from the disease and protect their communities."
