The Carter Center

We are excited to share that a major documentary film about President
Carter's historic effort to eradicate Guinea worm disease is now
available to stream on Amazon. The President and the Dragon, a film by
Sudanese filmmaker Waleed Eltayeb, tells the story of an unlikely
group of "Guinea worm warriors" who spent four decades combating the
debilitating parasitic disease in the most remote places on the
planet.
You can learn more about the film and find a link to the Amazon page
at CarterCenter.org. Proceeds from each rental of the film will
support The Carter Center's global mission to wage peace, fight
disease, and build hope.
When the campaign started in 1986, there were 3.5 million cases of
Guinea worm disease each year. Last year, there were just 15. The
film shares how public health veterans, community leaders in remote
communities, and ex-child soldiers worked together to achieve a
triumph in global health. Guinea worm is poised to be only the second
human disease to be eradicated -- and the first without a vaccine or
medicines.
"My grandfather desperately wanted to outlive Guinea worm, and he came
remarkably close to doing it," said Jason Carter, Carter Center board
chair and the eldest grandson of President Carter and First Lady
Rosalynn Carter. "He witnessed firsthand what freeing a community from
this terrible disease meant to people's daily lives, and The Carter
Center will keep working until there are zero cases."
We hope you will watch the documentary with family and friends. You
can watch the trailer here. Please share it with your networks and
encourage them to watch The President and the Dragon.
