The Film exhibition “Health in the Millennium: a missing signature" , which will take place on Thursday 10, 17, 24 and 31 May in the Verdi Park Cinema, Barcelona at 22.15h, will attempt to raise awareness - the progress, the difficulties - of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) relating to health, by offering a critical vision of the state of health in the world's poorest countries.
The exhibition will show 4 documentaries that tackle the issues related to the four MDGs dealing with health: infant mortality, maternal health, AIDS, malaria or Chagas disease, and access to medicines. Those involved in the making of the films and specialists in the field will also be participating.
