About
TWO WORLDS is a series of short films about pharma companies that put profit before health – and the people fighting to make medicines accessible to all.
The project started at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic, when big pharma companies were refusing to share life-saving vaccine technology with countries in the global south – even as millions of people were unable to access limited vaccine supplies.
Big pharma’s determination to maximise its profits at the expense of human life made it clearer than ever that our way of making medicines is broken. But the pharmaceutical industry has worked like this for decades.
From the HIV crisis to the outbreak of Ebola, big pharma companies have long put their pursuit of profits above the lives of ordinary people, pricing people out of essential medicines and ignoring diseases if they mainly affect people and countries with less money.
In TWO WORLDS, campaign group Global Justice Now joins with film-makers across the world to tell the story of this industry and the people working to change it.
Each film is a personal testimony from the sharp end of a deeply unjust system. But these are also stories of hope. They show doctors, patients and international movements organising to resist profiteering, while scientists work together to build a new way of making medicines for the common good.
