Mosquitoes Symbolize the Ongoing Fight Against Disease
Dis-Ease
Upcoming Documentary
In an exploration of humanity’s battle against germs, the documentary Dis-Ease delivers a blend of humor and insight. A standout moment features two British colonial hunters in the historic setting of Ceylon, hilariously demonstrating the absurdity of their era by bringing down a colossal papier mâché mosquito.
The film seamlessly combines public information films—often unintentionally comedic—with elements from monster movies, documentaries, thrillers, newsreels, and histology lab footage. It effectively illustrates a powerful metaphor in medicine: viewing the body as a fortress under siege by germs.
Dis-Ease redefines the narrative surrounding disease and raises critical questions about our ongoing health battles.
