Spillover / The next pandemic threat
Sunday 19 April, 16.30 -18.30

Ebola, Marburg, Nipah, COVID-19, and now avian flu – the list of deadly viruses jumping from animals to humans keeps on growing. Despite the long coexistence of these pathogens and humans, why are these spillover events becoming alarmingly frequent? What role do our actions play in triggering these outbreaks? The director, award‑winning filmmaker Michael Wech, and the producer, Emmy winner Leopold Hoesch, seek to find the answer in Spillover, where they take viewers on a journey to uncover how viruses cross from animals to humans — and how future outbreaks and pandemics may emerge.

Spillover / Den næste pandemi
Søndag 19. april, kl. 16:30-19:00
Ebola, Marburg, Nipah, COVID-19 og nu fugleinfluenza – listen over dødelige vira, der hopper fra dyr til mennesker, bliver stadig længere. På trods af den lange sameksistens mellem disse patogener og mennesker, hvorfor bliver disse transmissioner så alarmerende hyppige? Hvilken rolle spiller vores handlinger i at udløse disse udbrud? Instruktøren, den prisvindende filmskaber Michael Wech, og producenten, Emmy-vinder Leopold Hoesch, forsøger at finde svaret i Spillover, hvor de tager seerne med på for at afsløre, hvordan vira krydser fra dyr til mennesker – og hvordan fremtidige udbrud og pandemier kan opstå.
