Abstract

This 2 minute video [ see http://www.umbreenbutt.com/health?wix-vod-comp-id=comp-j4a7cmwd ] follows Sadia, the “Lady Vaccinator” through a neighborhood in Peshawar as she administers polio vaccine drops (always with a sense of humour). "Disease Warriors" follows the frontline health workers battling the poliovirus in the streets of Peshawar. As of 2016, there are only 37 cases world wide due to successful polio vaccination campaigns like this one. The video is part of a repertoire of the documentary film maker Umbreen Butt.
