How One Doctor Stopped London's Deadliest Cholera Epidemic | London 1854

Описание: In August 1854, a deadly cholera outbreak swept through the streets of Soho, London, killing over 600 people in just a few days. The authorities blamed bad air — the miasma theory — but one doctor refused to accept the official narrative.
Dr. John Snow, a pioneer of modern medicine, walked the empty streets of a dying neighborhood and did something no one had done before: he mapped the deaths. Dot by dot, house by house, the truth began to emerge. Every death clustered around a single water pump on Broad Street.
In this documentary, we uncover the full story of the 1854 London cholera outbreak — one of the deadliest public health disasters in Victorian history. We follow John Snow's revolutionary investigation, his battle against the medical establishment, and the moment he convinced the Board of Guardians to remove the Broad Street pump handle, stopping the epidemic in its tracks.
This is the story of how one man's data changed the world forever.
