SUMMARY

A look at the rise in numbers of fatal super-viruses, tied in with a behind the scenes look at the making of Danny Boyle's 28 Days Later... (2002).

CAPSULE REVIEW

A disappointing companion piece to Boyle's excellent 28 Days Later... (2002) which spends far too much time looking at super-viruses and nowhere near enough at the film itself. The documentary footage is interesting, if rather sensationalist, but the piece ends up being neither one thing nor the other. A let down.
