Smallpox

Mario Dahl

Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg

The idea was to shoot a film that makes clear the impact of the discovery of vaccination. The fact that the world has been freed from this cruel virus is one of the greatest achievements in human history, and we owe it to the efforts of many hard working people and a transnational cooperation of the WHO vaccination campaign. In 1980 - for the first time in the history of humankind, and after probably more than 3000 years of existence - the victory over the virus was announced.

Mario Dahl was born in Reutlingen, Southern Germany. After his Bachelor of Arts, Mario focused on directing commercials at Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg. In 2022, he will graduate with two diploma films.
