The United Nations officially recognized World Diabetes Day in 2005, saying that this “chronic, debilitating, and costly disease poses severe risks for families, Member States, and the entire world.” Less than a decade later, the word diabetes is not mentioned once in the 600+ pages of the United Nations’ agenda. Efforts to change this were fractured and spread across thousands of advocacy groups, each with its own objectives.
CampaignDescription
More than 343,000,000 people have type 2 diabetes—enough to form the third-largest country—because the world has been permeated by highly processed and unhealthy foods. Our film captures the work of renowned food artist Henry Hargreaves as he faithfully creates a map of the world out of these very same unhealthy foods. By highlighting the pervasive nature of the problem and the enormity of type 2 diabetes, we dare to ask: what kind of world are we making?
