Outbreak

★ 7.5/10•2015•53m•NR•Documentary

The vivid, inside story of how the 2014 - 2016 Ebola outbreak began, and why it wasn't stopped before it was too late.

FRONTLINE spent months on the ground in West Africa, tracing the Ebola outbreak’s path through Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia in 2014 and 2015 and uncovering the hidden story of what happened before the world started paying attention. The documentary shared firsthand accounts from survivors and victims’ family members — from the forest region of Guinea to the bustling Liberian capital of Monrovia — including the father of a one-year-old Guinean child who was believed to be the first person to die in the outbreak.
