What a hectic week. Planning, buying, fixing... all the things that you do before a major production trip. But we're excited. The countdown is on. We leave in exactly one week. On the up side, the Peru visas came through fine. We're still struggling with the Indian visa though. Seems it's very tough to get a journalist's visa. What's incredible is that we really want to put the country in the forefront in a positive light considering all the great work they are doing. I'm hoping it all works out otherwise it will be a great deception and a logistics nightmare. Today I interviewed Dr. Luc Hessel of Sanofi-Pasteur MSD. Great interview. In fact, all of them have been. I'm getting the feeling that this film is going to be very substantial.

Still ahead before we leave for Brazil, our first round the world stop, is our intro sequence which I will be filming in front of a clinic in Annecy. They have graciously offered to let us film there though they want their name left anonymous. That's a rarity these days. Most people want to be highly visible, with them it's the opposite. Oh, and great filming sequence at IARC on Tuesday. Thanks again to Peter, Caroline and all the wonderful people there. They're making this film much easier to produce.
