Official selection for the 5th WHO Health for All Film Festival 2024

Embark on an inspiring journey with 'Irene and the Path to Health,' a captivating short film directed by Nicolás Granada. Set against the vibrant backdrop of Cochabamba, Bolivia, the narrative unfolds around Irene Rodríguez, a local health leader.

As the COVID-19 pandemic descends upon Irene's neighborhood, skepticism looms large. In the face of growing uncertainty and misinformation about this new disease, Irene decides to explore creative ways to promote health seeking behaviours in her community.

With a background audio of a radio show co-created by Irene and the ECO project, 'Irene and the Path to Health' is more than a narrative; it's a testament to the power of community-driven creativity to respond to health crises.

The ECO project was implemented by ISGlobal and funded by Unitaid and the ACT-Accelerator.
