In 2012 a study revealed that while HIV/ AIDS was responsible for the annual deaths of 1.5 million, this was the same number Hepatitis B is responsible for, most of the health policy makers have left out viral hepatitis on the health agendas. Shocking how people do not know what is affecting and killing them softly so this film serves as the voice of the People living with Hepatitis and parents that is meant to bring out awareness to the people concerned and the general public as well as showing how people need to perceive Hepatitis B for positive public awareness.
