The Global Health Video Library

The Global Health Video Library is a free, online service for journalists around the world who report on public health issues. The goal of the video library is to provide television reporters and filmmakers — particularly in low and middle income countries — with another tool to accomplish their work. The library provides rights-free cover footage related to HIV/AIDS. Generic cover footage is also included.

The clip reels are organized by region, and within each clip reel there are sub-categories to guide journalists through the range of material available. A preview of each clip reel can be screened and downloaded online.

The following organizations have generously contributed material to this library: Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Family Health International, Johns Hopkins Center for Communication Programs, the NewsHour with Jim Lehrer on the Public Broadcasting System, Peace Corps, Transatlantic Partners Against AIDS and the International AIDS Vaccine Initiative.
