When Antibiotics Don't Work

This FRONTLINE documentary asks whether the age of antibiotics is ending as drug-resistant bacteria spread. It follows patients and hospitals confronting infections that modern medicine can no longer reliably cure, from a young girl on life support to a dangerous outbreak. The film lays out the science and the stakes of antibiotic resistance clearly. It is an urgent watch for anyone interested in medicine, public health, and one of the great threats of our time.
