COVID 19, DASHED HOPES

The world in all its states

An episode from the series ARTE INVESTIGATION

Synopsis

Researchers at the Pasteur Institute may have discovered a treatment for Covid-19 in the early days of the crisis. A promising molecule, an existing drug that could be repurposed — and yet, a year later, nothing has come of it. No rollout, not even a clinical trial launched.

This film follows their determined struggle from the inside and reveals the behind-the-scenes reality of a war against the pandemic where science alone is not enough.
