The Polio Crusade (2009)
De film verweeft de persoonlijke verhalen van polio-overlevenden met het verhaal van een vurige kruisvaarder die onvermoeibaar voor hen vocht terwijl wetenschappers zich haastten om deze gevreesde ziekte uit te roeien. Gedeeltelijk gebaseerd op het met de Pulitzerprijs bekroonde boek Polio: An American Story van David Oshinsky. Bevat interviews met historici, wetenschappers, polio-overlevenden en de enige overlevende wetenschapper uit het kernonderzoeksteam dat het Salk-vaccin ontwikkelde, Julius Youngner.
