We had a screening and discussion of a short documentary: Across Qinghai , which is about the vaccination of 500,000 children in Qinghai Western China.

The film was produced by Asian Liver Center at Stanford in effort to spread the awareness of this devastating epidemic. Highlighting some of the facts depicted: over 90,000,000 million people in China are infected with Hepatitis B and each year, 500,000 people in China die from the liver cancer or liver failure it costs.

Essentially, the twenty minute documentary shows how Hep B affects people in the world and how simple vaccination can put an end to this human suffering!
