Fifteen million people die each year of neglected tropical diseases. What if that was to change? This story calls upon the richest man in the world and the poorest of the poor. We cross the seas. We also hunt the tiniest creatures by microscope. The challenge: to save millions of human lives neglected by research and pharmaceutical industries. In this story, a child dies; others, many others, are saved... The African storyteller said: “The sun does not forget a face because it is small.”
