Dear African studies colleagues,

I write to call your attention to a short documentary (23 mins.) on the Ebola crisis just released free online on PBS/Independent Lens. In the Shadow of Ebola is an intimate story of a family and a nation torn apart by the outbreak. It can be screened at http://www.pbs.org/independentlens/in-the-shadow-of-ebola/

Cnsider forwarding the link to anyone on your campus who might find it useful.

The film was co-produced and co-directed by Gregg Mitman of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, who has spent a number of years working in Liberia on the history of a 1926 Harvard expedition, sponsored by Firestone, and the environmental and social consequences that followed in its wake. Mitman's research offers an informed historical and cultural perspective on the Ebola crisis that has that has appeared in the New England Journal of Medicine and on public radio.

In the Shadow of Ebola is well suited for classes in African history and global health, and is being used by the CDC this summer as part of its mandatory training program for incoming Epidemic Intelligence Service officers.
