“Ebola in America: Epidemic of Fear”
Please join us for a screening of the groundbreaking documentary “Ebola in America: Epidemic of Fear,” produced by the CSIS Global Health Policy Center. A panel discussion on how Americans experienced Ebola in 2014, and the news media’s role in that health crisis — including the Zika virus — will follow the screening.
The documentary features people at the heart of the response, including Dr. Kent Brantly, the first American to return to the United States to receive treatment for the disease; White House Ebola czar Ron Klain; and CDC director Tom Frieden. Panelists (left to right) include:
* J. Stephen Morrison, CSIS.
* Ray Suarez, writer and former “PBS NewsHour” correspondent; and
* Helene Cooper, The New York Times;
* Gene Policinski (Moderator), COO, Newseum Institute
“When Ebola arrived in America in 2014, it ignited the best and the worst in us, including fear, panic, stigma, confrontation, and confusion—and courage and leadership,” Morrison said when the documentary was released earlier this year. “We’ve tried to unpack this turbulence through the eyes of different key individuals on the front lines. Their story resonates today as we face Zika and the threat of infants born with brain damage.”
