Summary |
"Rheumatic Heart Disease, or RHD, is a largely invisible disease that threatens the lives of over 30 million children and young people around the world.This powerful and provocative film is the first in a global series that focuses on Australasia. ... The first people of this region - Indigenous Australians, New Zealand Maoris and Pacific Islanders - have among the highest rates of rheumatic heart disease in the world. While Australian and new Zealand are ranked top 2 and 7 on the UN's Human Development Index, this epidemic highlights the gap between indigenous and non-indigenous peoples. "Take heart" provides a first hand account that explores how we can close this gap and prevent more children being struck down by this completley preventable disease. " -- Container |
