The Boy Who Beat The Sandfly (Trailer)
🎬 We’re proud to share the trailer for our new film 'The Boy Who Beat The Sandfly' on visceral leishmaniasis.
It tells the story of Henry, a young boy from West Pokot, Kenya, whose resilience shines through as he faces the challenges of missing school and enduring treatment for this neglected disease. His journey is a powerful reminder of what’s at stake for children and why the world urgently needs better treatments for visceral leishmaniasis.
📽️ The full film will be released soon, but today we were honoured to premiere it at the NNN conference in Kampala, Uganda.
