I'm a 24 years old student in Brazil. I ignored a cough, weight loss and fever in order to dedicate to studies, when I couldn't take anymore I went to the doctor and was diagnosed with pulmonary TB. I was so scared but willing to beat this. Started the treatment 4 months ago and the treatment can be really really hard. I almost gave up on meds due to side effects. Few weeks ago I found out the bacteria is resistant to one of the drugs so probably instead of 6 months treatment I'll be in 9 to 13 months treatment. The treatment is effective, I noticed the difference, I don't cough, don't have fever, I can eat and do my activities (even tho I still struggle to take all the meds properly everyday). This video really touched me, we should talk about it and do something about it. I feel like my body will never be the same again and I don't want anyone to go through this.

Yes, GOD does exist and will deliver those who have trust in HIM. Don't believe the lie that HE causes pain and suffering. It is Satan, he is th e one who is causing all that is evil and unholy. The LORD says to trust in HIM with all our hearts and not rely on our own understanding. When we have trust in HIM, HE gives us overwhelming peace; a peace I never thought exsited. Before having a relationship with HIM I had the same thoughts, not understanding why such things happen. But, when I studied the Bible and began to have a relationship with HIM, it all came together. No one will understand HIS plans/desires for us if we don't know HIM on a personal level. Otherwise, it is just silly talk. With all that is going on no one will feel fulfilled in life unless one seems GOD. We try to mask our pain, discontentment, etc. with temporary things. But, we are never satisfied; always trying to fill a void. When the only ONE who can feel that could is a relationship with GOD through Jesus Christ. I pray for anyone who reads this, to establish a relationship (become saved)with GOD and HIS Son Jesus Christ. While we still have time. It will absolutely be the best thing anyone could ever do in his/her entire life. Take care

Anyone who thinks that worshiping God is a fool. God does not serve the good of the individual faithful human being, but the ecosystem as a whole, with all living things included. We have collectively contributed to the eradication of a large portion of wild nature and the extinction of several species of animals, and to the suffering of our fellow men and women as well.

It also saddens me to know there are young children dying from this because of lack of either medicine or the money for the vaccine or treatment. This little girl has had to grow up so fast. She loses her mom at 12 and only 2 weeks after she passes finds out she to has this sake disease. She shouldn't have to have this worry in her young life she should just be able to be a child and dance. My youngest daughter is the age of this little girl at the time they filmed it. I hope she is able to beat this I am only 6 minutes into this...😔 I'm so happy the little girl had positive results and was able to leave the hospital. It's amazing how strong and resilient kids can be. I hope she makes a full recovery and my heart and prayers go out to all of the people who are infected with this horrible disease and their families.

I resolved to relearn chemistry, physics, and microbiology...After a couple years, I decided to study respiratory therapy. I graduated June 6th. Didn't mean to talk so much about myself, but I mention it because I was unaware of the morbidity and mortality caused by T.B.. My maternal grandmother died at the age of 42 from milliary TB. When I taught their graders, I had young students who had been exposed to TB, so our classroom and their education was affected. Treatment for "regular" TB is extended and requires high patient compliance taking a cocktail of antibiotics. MDR and XDR both are difficult diseases to treat. This scenario is compounded when the TB patients reside in a developing country. The plight of the patients depicted in this film is just heartbreaking.

I got to know quite a lot about this disease, which you contract by breathing, when I was finally diagnosed with it in India, after struggling for years in the US to find out what was wrong with me. My case was not in the lungs, but in my bones and nervous system and I could have gotten it anywhere, though my I've spent more time in high-incidence regions of the world than many of my compatriots. Spinal TB is not contagious but my western, ostensibly Christian colleagues treated me like a pariah anyway, because of fear and many false assumptions associated with the affliction. I spent a Himalayan winter in almost complete isolation in an unheated house, in terrible pain and very weak, propped up in a back brace, taking 8-10 tablets a day for the first six months and tapering off to just three daily by the end of my 18-month course of treatment.The meds made it hard to eat and were a constant threat to liver and kidney function. I had headaches, vision problems and extreme weight loss. It took many weeks on the drugs before I started to feel something less than grievously ill and suicidal, because of the pain, social stigma and rejection. I'm fortunate not to be paralyzed or worse, and to have responded to treatment. I did lose part of my spine to this terrible disease, however, and will feel that every day for the rest of my life, but I've seen so many cases of children and young people like these in the film who suffer far worse after losing family members to tuberculosis. When I was about the same age as the lovely girl featured here, charitable and public health campaigns promised obliteration of TB, one of the deadliest diseases of all time, through pasteurization of milk, quarantine measures for TB in the lungs, and a strict regimen of effective antibiotics. There was even talk of a vaccine. I certainly never imagined that, over forty years later, I'd have to struggle to save my own life and mobility and watch so many others fight to survive a disease anyone can contract, just by breathing. When poorly-informed people asked my Keralan doctor how I became infected (no HIPA in India), he responded, "What does it matter? Anyone can get TB." BTW, those TB scratch tests don't always work. In my field, I had them regularly, even as the mycobacteria were feasting on my vertebrae. No one should have to die, or lose their hearing or become paralyzed because of a disease that we've understood for decades.

Either they cannot afford these items, or there is not enough public education teaching people how to use these items. It's very, very easy to say "just use PPE", but remember this is a Third World nation. Some of the population there doesn't even have half the education people in the First World take for granted. The fact you can read this right now means that public education (or at least, some sort of education) worked for you. Uneducated public due to poverty and government corruption means that the public has no voice in politics. They just don't have the necessary education to engage. This is how corruption in these countries thrives, how the rich get richer, the poor poorer.

@@humblymelanated2804 Right back at you, sweetie.

I worked in the humanitarian field with MSF for over 12 years and got extra pulmonary TB, it took me 12 months of severe treatment, and almost lost all my savings, my apartment, friends and others, i finished tx by the end of 2015 and still struggling with the consequences of the long term toxic treatment, my body, mind and in general my life changed in a way i cant describe, nevertheless I live in a country where at least i had the basic thing to move ahead and could affort not working for over 3 months in the initial phase. I cant imagine for other people, where not even the basics are fullfilled. This is an incredible documentary, as it portraits the feelings of desperation, hopelessness and fight to keep yourself alive while still having some human dignity preserve.

This documentary absolutely broke my heart...

The government's know exactly what they're doing.....

33:35 wen a men crys know that its very painful

This breaks my heart. We need new & better treatments for tb.

Many heartbreaking and tear jerking scenes in this documentary. How is it in 2018-19 we cannot find a cure and people have to take a handful of pills only to end up dying most of the time? Dear lord help all those suffering people in the world regardless of race or religion.

Back in the" Great Depression " era, T.B. was very aggressive. My mother who is 89 recenly tested positive to exposure to T.B. She was once exposed to the virus but never became symptomatic. Im not sure if some people are more immune to it than others or not.

💯💯💯 Humanity may be on life support... but its not yet dead.

Very brave and intelligent little girl,may God strengthen you

I'm a retired nurse and learned about TB early on . Vaccinations were available but testing continued throughout my career . I only had two patients in my 30+ career that were put in isolation with TB . It was truly terrifying for the patient and the nursing staff as well . I had no idea this problem was still so rampant in the world . God help us all ! ! . . 😱.😷 .🚫

I too found great sadness in this Video . This Young Girl has had Alot of Growing up to do , Since her and her Brother Lost Their Mom This Video is a Real Eye Opener, Young Woman at the end does Say the Truth

Nobag is the bravest little girl ever. They say those injections make grown men cry. I love her so much.

The mother would be very proud of her children. The son is doing a great job holding down the fort. Sending prayers

The nurse kept repeating the XDR result was so cold. She is literally in tears and she’s just like “yea well forget about going home cause you have XDR” and then 5 minutes later “yea well we just wanted to tell you, you have XDR” like come onnnnnnnn

They need to come up with new drugs for this....this is shameful....why can't they give her a temporary feeding tube also to continue the treatment

This is so very sad.i feel pain for this man.he's so broken.... The little girl as well.

This was interesting and it definitely gives you a different perspective on your own life. Making you very grateful for every moment and breath that you take. My prayers for all

That little girl is already accepting death. You can tell by her wording, saying this disease makes everyone leave the earth that catches it. It's as if she has no hope of surviving and doesn't expect to. That it is so heart wrenching to see in a child so young 😔. I really wish they had like a children's unit in that treatment center, or it was set up in a way where people who seem to be getting better are in one part, and the most likely terminal patients in another. Just makes me sick to my stomach to think that child could have woken up to a dead woman laying only a few feet away from her, especially after losing her own mother to this. That has to be damaging to someone so young, to feel like death just surrounds you ☹️. I wouldn't be surprised if she felt like that, considering she admits it's hard for someone her age "to see these things". It's shocking to think that such old treatments are being used on something people know is spreading and mutating into resistant strands. I just don't understand why new treatments are not being made. I mean they say they try to keep up to date with the flu vaccine because of how the flu does the same, why are they not doing the same with this? Do they want another pandemic to fight? Bev that's what it seems like it may turn into 😕. It said this was around 2013, someone please tell me things have got better? That a better way of treatment has been made or is at least in the works? I mean that man dug his own sister's grave for goodness sake, and is almost in the grave himself. I'm so happy the little girl responded so well to treatment and recovered. What was once despair in her eyes is now replaced by true happiness along with hopes and dreams. It's just very unfortunate that many don't get the happy ending she did.

People are robbed of lives its so unfair .well last year and this year I wanted to commit suicide and stories like this make me realize that certain people don't get to choose to keep their lives . Their lives are just taken from them , often when they are young . So am gonna live on their behalf , try my best to be a great human being and make all the difference I possibly can while am still here. Even if I cant directly make a difference sometimes , I will try indirectly by donating and supporting certain organizations who actually take their time to help people like the like the souls in this documentary. I'VE LITERALLY CRIED MY EYES OUT. IT'S SO TRAGIC .

Lord protect and shower these families with your blessings and protection always. They have so much love in those heart and souls 🙏🙏❤️🥰🥰

Thank you for your courage to speak and educate the world I have a deep respect to you all.

In Mexico we have so many cases of TB that all of the med students have seen several cases during our training. At least one patient on each floor has tb.

I cannot finish watching this. Because it hurts my heart. Sad!

Excellent doc. TB is also running rampant in the Russian prison system. It's very scary, particularly when you think that our cities are growing exponentially which may be great for infrastructure but it's a disaster in a pandemic.

Nokubheka is my hero she's a fighter. My mom was diagnosed with TB and it affected the whole family badly but I'm happy to say she's like Nokubheka she beat TB.

My mom ended up with full blown TB, back in 2000ish, i remember my oldest being, maybe 2, and i went to the health department to get a test, and they tested my daughter, they told me "if she tests positive for it, you may as well go pick out her casket" like what a professional way to tell someone that your baby may die, anyway, i tested positive and my daughter didn't "thank you Jesus" but i ended up being a positive/negative, which meant, if i was to EVER come into contact with it again, I'm going to get it full blown, and another lovely tidbit, any time i fill out ANY paperwork, and it asks if i ever tested positive for TB, i HAVE to put yes, which means a whole lot of trips to get chest x-rays, they put me on some meds for a year and my daughter, 6 months. Thankfully, after getting down to 92lbs and being quarantined for 6 months, my mother pulled through it, but now that she's in her early 60s, her lungs are trash, and she can't walk two feet without having her oxygen on

A very sad documentary, I lived 15 yrs in Durban that is rife with TB, thank god I never caught it, my mother had TB as a child in UK.

Very sad. My heart breaks for those who are ill and suffering.

What a wonderful child. I hope she sees her dreams of going to a university come true.

What I heartbreaking documentary, I am glad the girl Nokubheka recovered and she's back at school.. may god heal others

I saw this on netflix years ago. It is not new but still sad. Im crying watching it all over again.

I was diagnosed with TB 3 months ago, I was in very bad medical condition God save me I respond to drugs very good, I am at home now getting my medicine every day felling much better, but doctor said It will take for sure 4 months more to full recovery I just want to send a message to all pepole don't underestimate TB we are all exposed to this

@@robindelancy7097 extreme drug resistance doesn't mean that there are no drugs working, it just means that the drugs currently used are mostly not effective. To treat any kind of multi drug resistant bacteria is a trial and error. Especially new drugs have a bigger chance of being effective on drug resistant bacteria. So your comment is completely oblivious of chances you get by introducing new medication. I also couldn't reciprocate how you came up with the idea that these new drugs aren't being used or aren't effective on XDR or MDR for that matter. Through my short research on pubmed, there are small studies that have shown promising results. These are obviously very small studies, but given that the drugs are relatively new, that isn't surprising. There is no way of saying at this current time, that they aren't working. So for Pete's sake, do your research next time!
