Antibiotics were first massed-produced in the 1940s and their ability to fight and kill bacteria revolutionized medicine and profoundly impacted everything from agriculture to war. After less than 80 years, however, these miracle drugs are failing. Resistant infections kill hundreds of thousands of people around the world each year and there are now dozens of so-called Superbugs each with its own challenges and costs. How did this happen? Using microscopic footage, harrowing personal stories, and expert insights RESISTANCE clarifies the problem of antibiotic resistance, how we got to this point, and what we can do to turn the tide.

Following the film, we invite you to continue the discussion with experts from Cardiff University who are working to understand antibiotic resistance and are looking for solutions.

English language captions will be included on the film and a British Sign Language Interpreter will be present for the panel discussion.

This screening is part of ‘ART LAB: Art of Antimicrobial Resistance’. An art exhibition accompanies the film and is open to the public 11am-5pm on 19-22 February at Chapter. Details here.

ART LAB is supported by the Higher Education Council Funding for Wales, Cardiff University, the Creative Cardiff Network and Cardiff Science Festival.
