"A highly original and entertaining episode through the body's defense system."
Dr. Benjamin Bonavida, Prof. of Immunology, UCLA School of Medicine

This film is the only one we know of that can give intermediate students the scientific understanding of the immune system that they need before being introduced to the subject of A.I.D.S.
CELL WARS is a lively introduction to immunology that shows kids how the body's cells defend themselves against invading germs. A mock battle, with actors playing the attackers and defenders of cells, is interspersed with animation and microphotography of real cells. Children come away with an understanding of bacteria and virus germs, lymphocytes, phagocytes, and antibodies.
The discussion guide will help teachers review these concepts, with the option of introducing immune deficiency disease in its biological context.
