地方病との斗い－第二部　治療と駆除－

Fighting Endemic Diseases - Part 1: Edema and Swelling - Fighting Endemic Diseases - Part 2: Treatment and Eradication - Japanese Schistosomiasis In the Name of Humanity Showa Town Folklore Museum, Sugiura Clinic The Current State of Japanese Schistosomiasis ~Philippines 1996~ Awards Japan Industrial Film Contest: Japan Industrial Film Award Science and Technology Film Festival: Director-General's Award Recommended by the Japan Film Pen Club Recommended by the Excellent Film Appreciation Society Selected by the Ministry of Education Recommended by the Ministry of Health and Welfare Synopsis Production: Tokyo Bun-ei Planning: Yamanashi Prefecture Endemic Disease Eradication Association 1978, Black and White, 26 minutes The fight against Japanese schistosomiasis largely ended in the 1980s. Those born after the war take a life free from the threat of parasites for granted and do not know the tears and sweat of their parents and grandparents. With valuable materials beginning to be lost and the number of living witnesses to the struggle dwindling, preserving these materials is considered crucial. This film is a valuable medical document that scientifically captures the mechanism of a single disease, and acknowledges that our current peaceful life is a gift from the efforts of countless predecessors (this film is produced in black and white to utilize historical photographs and films).
