YouTube Description
as posted by the channelSubscribe on YouTube
FRONTLINE filmmakers Dan Edge and Sasha Achilli answer your questions about Ebola and filming in West Africa during the height of the 2014-2015 outbreak.
In this clip they discuss "social mobilization" which was essentially public health outreach in areas devastated by Ebola. Despite these efforts, it was difficult to educate people about Ebola because rumors were running rampant that Westerners were intentionally bringing Ebola into the country.
The FRONTLINE documentary "Outbreak" tells the vivid, inside story of how the Ebola outbreak happened and why it wasn't stopped sooner.
