Caution in Paradise

Caution in Paradise, a thirty minute documentary debut by Maria Karin Walczuk, illustrating how Rat Lungworm disease shapes the Big Island and beyond. Rat lungworm disease is a parasitic form of meningitis most frequently consumed through raw produce -- it furthermore exists as an under-reported and under-researched issue in the Hawaiian islands. Following three individuals who suffer from this disease, audiences will understand more about its severity and our vulnerability as a community for the first time in film media.
