"Mary and Martha" is a film by the BBC that focuses on the toils of two mothers who lose their only children to the disease of malaria. Mary is a "hovercraft parent" who pulls her son, George, out of public school for being bullied and tours Africa to find him a better school. George fatally succumbs to malaria. While grieving, Mary meets Martha, a British woman whose only child also died from malaria while working in Mozambique. Inspired, the two are motivated to beseech the World Health Organization for medical aid to treat and educate Africa about the fatal disease.
