FATAL CONTACT - BIRD FLU IN AMERICA shows what could occur in an outbreak of the Avian Flu Virus, depicting the absolute worst-case scenario. The film follows the virus from its origins in Hong Kong, through a mutation that allows it to be passed from human to human and spread worldwide. The pandemic results in mass panic, with people dying in the tens of millions, whole neighbourhoods and cities quarantined, and the very structure of society undermined.
