"For decades, experts have been warning about the growing resistance to antibiotics. Could a rarely discussed alternative hold the answer to the crisis? Phage therapy--the use of viruses which attack and destroy certain bacteria without harming their human hosts--has been around for longer than antibiotics. But it was forgotten in much of Europe once antibiotics became the standard treatment, and it is still not generally accepted there. However, partly due to their historical isolation from antibiotics research, scientists in the Republic of Georgia have pioneered new developments in phage therapy. To illustrate the potential of phage treatments, this film follows the case of Henri Lemaitre, whose leg became infected with resistant bacteria during a hospital stay. Contains images of wounds and infections that may disturb some viewers."
