Jimmy Carter Doc ‘The President And The Dragon’ Acquired By Buffalo 8 — Cannes
Jimmy Carter's 'The President and the Dragon’ documentary has been acquired by Buffalo 8 out of Cannes.
The film watches as the former U.S. President, a motley crew of public health veterans, ex-child soldiers, and local volunteers traverse political minefields, treacherous terrain, and bloody civil war to chase after an ancient parasite, uniting with the goal of eradicating Guinea worm disease. Produced by Touchline’s Shaun McGuckian and Eltayeb, and co-produced by Brave Road’s Andrew Bishop (ESPN’s 26.2 To Life) and Tim Byron Owen ( The Matchstick Man), the film is a testament and dedication to all the Guinea worm warriors and those working on the frontlines to end the suffering caused by the horrific, water-borne disease. A parasitic infection caused by the roundworm Dracunculus medinensis, Guinea worm disease primarily affects poor communities in remote parts of Africa that lack safe drinking water.
