SPILLOVER

A Film By Michael Wech

Climate change, human activity and the outbreak of pandemics - how are they connected? "Spillover" explores this question five years after COVID-19.
Whether Ebola, Marburg, Hanta, COVID-19 or currently bird flu, the list of deadly viruses that have already jumped from animals to humans is long. And it's getting longer - posing an increasingly acute threat to us. But why, despite the long coexistence of pathogens with humans, are spillovers occurring more and more frequently? What role does human behavior play in triggering these outbreaks? The documentary “Spillover” embarks on a global journey to find answers and opens up the origins of some of the world's deadliest viruses.
