Blame

More than six years after COVID-19 reshaped the world, myths about its origins continue to circulate like a modern-day Dracula story, exposing how misinformation, politics and power can eclipse scientific evidence. 

Three scientists have dedicated their careers to studying viruses that spill over from animals to humans, placing them on the front line of global health preparedness. In the wake of the pandemic, they find themselves caught in a maelstrom of conspiracy theories, public mistrust and political instrumentalisation. Tracing a line from the origins of SARS to the looming threat of future outbreaks, Blame is a rigorously researched work of investigative filmmaking. At a moment when scientific institutions are being undermined and facts increasingly distorted, Blame emerges as a vital and courageous film – cutting through the noise to defend evidence, expertise and the fragile foundations of truth.
