In 2003, a single disease caused by a virus 100 times more infectious than HIV killed a million people around the world. Like HIV, it is spread from mother to child, infected needles and unprotected sex. Unlike HIV, a safe and effective vaccine exists. But a lack of awareness and a social veil of silence have resulted in the infection of as many as 400 million people worldwide. Most are Asians, including an estimated 10% of Asian-Americans. This disease is hepatitis B. "Another Life" is the first documentary to examine its impact on communities in China and America. The film focuses on the lives of eight people affected by Chronic Hepatitis B, fusing their stories into a compelling narrative of tenacity and hope in the face of an epidemic. Many thanks to the Sun Hung Kai Properties Kwok Foundation Ltd. for its support in making this film.
