Preventing cholera in just four minutes

In researching for a project on Cholera as it relates to emergencies and disasters, I stumbled across a fantastic video from the Global Health Media Project which illustrates transmission, treatment and prevention of cholera. How amazing it would be if this could be shown to people all over the world, and they could learn in just four minutes how to protect themselves from Cholera (and a slew of other diseases, since these prevention methods are not all disease-specific). Check out the video here, and read more about the idea behind the video here.
