Malaria: Fever Road

on BBC Four

1/2 Malaria kills millions each year - and is on the rise. The harsh impact of the disease on a rural Kenyan community is revealed as Chief Kombo struggles with a dilemma: should he stop his villagers visiting ineffective herbalists and untrained doctors or let them live in hope of a cure? Part two is at the same time tomorrow

Digital/cable highlights: Malaria: Fever Road 9.00pm BBC4
The first of two documentaries (the second is tomorrow), overseen by award-winning film-maker Roger Graef, on malaria - which kills as many people as Aids-related diseases, but gets only a 20th of the research funding. It follows a village chief in Kenya who's struggling to save his people. (Ruth Margolis)
