About

The Carter Center and GWSPH will host a screening of The President and the Dragon, a documentary chronicling President Jimmy Carter’s decades-long effort to eradicate Guinea worm disease. Since 1986, annual cases have fallen from an estimated 3.5 million to just 10 worldwide in 2025, bringing the disease closer to becoming only the second human disease eradicated after smallpox.
