Kuru: The Science and the Sorcery

本片是一部纪录片，上映于2010-12-01，由Rob Bygott导演，由朱迪·戴维斯/Michael Alpers/Russ Harris主演。

剧情简介：Australian scientist Michael Alpers dedicated over 50 years to researching Kuru, an obscure and incurable brain disease unique to the Fore people of New Guinea. Kuru was once thought to be a psychosomatic illness, an infection, a genetic disorder, even a sorcerer's curse, but Alpers' findings pointed to cannibalism as the culprit. Yet a recent discovery has proven to be even more disturbing: the malady is linked to mad cow disease and its human equivalent, variant CJD. With a decades-long incubation period, could a larger outbreak be on its way?
