Disney's Tuberculosis (1945) | Spanish Version With English Captions

Date: 30/01/2024

This is the Spanish version of the short educational film TUBERCULOSIS (the English version seems to be lost). It was produced by Walt Disney Studios under the auspices of the Coordinator of Inter-American Affairs (CIAA). It was released in August 1945. The film describes tuberculosis as man’s deadliest enemy and tells how it can be cured. It stresses prevention and communication.

This short has fallen into the public domain before the 95 year limit, that's how it should be. It's not available on Disney+. The Walt Disney Company (along with other corporations) lobbied Congress to get U.S. copyright laws extended by 20 years, twice! Because of that, it allows published works to be under copyright for almost a century and corporations to squeeze every last ounce of profit from them even long after the profitability has past. It keeps people from enjoying art, which is the purpose of art.
