Out of the Shadows: The story of DNDi
Filmed to mark DNDi’s 20th anniversary, our newest film ‘Out of the Shadows’ tells the story of DNDi researchers around the world working to develop treatments for patients who have lived in the shadows for too long. In a world affected by climate change, conflict, and economic instability, we must continue innovating together to ensure the most vulnerable people are no longer neglected.
