H1N1 : Our Viruses Have a Future

H2N2, H5N1, SARS… behind these abbreviations lie some poorly defined biological “things” that we call viruses. Faced with the tidal wave of information and interpretation and the media hype, this film tries to provide explanation, information and nuances. Point by point, over several continents, it analyses what this flu is, what makes it different from a seasonal virus, what are its possible mutations, how it spreads and what are the possible scenarios for its development. It also tries to understand the precise purpose of the tools we use to fight it and assess their efficiency. One year after the flu emerged, it also provides an initial assessment of the real impact of the virus on our populations (Verleiher-Text)
