Our Story
During the seven years of research starting in 2012 and resulting in the documentary “THE FEVER”, it became blatantly clear, that the only sustainable strategies against malaria are local strategies based on African science and indigenous knowledge.
In 2019 “THE FEVER” finally had its world premiere and caused a lot of public discourse about neocolonial patterns and public health. We realized it was a project we had to continue.
“Fight The Fever” was officially established on February 27th 2020 as an organization to support local strategies against malaria.
Meet our Team
Fight The Fever is a group of people with diverse interests and expertises from all over the world. Together we want to speak up for the preservation and use of indigenious medical knowledge and for self determined healthcare, independent from profit interests of the Global North.
