Conceived, written and narrated by award-winning broadcaster Dr Norman Swan, this four-part series investigates the relationship between history, destiny and disease. Every era has its new diseases. AIDS is not the first and it won't be the last. Our history and our destiny are shaped by our diseases. Filmed in the UK and Europe, Australia, the USA and Asia, the series looks at the origins of disease, epidemics, the interaction between our immune systems and history and the lessons we need to learn from the past.
