The Last Mile

The Last Mile is a feature-length documentary that uncovers the untold story behind the global effort to scale a breakthrough treatment for childhood malnutrition. Blending intimate human narratives with investigative reporting, it traces over 30 years of scientific innovation to develop ready-to-use therapeutic foods (RUTF) and exposes the scientific, regulatory, economic, and cultural barriers that still prevent this life-saving solution from reaching the millions of children who need it. It’s a story of bold ideas, unlikely alliances, and the systemic challenges that continue to shape the fight to expand access to life-saving treatment.
