Mammals as misunderstood as bats is how Frei, the filmmaker, describes scientists. He follows three of them who have been researching the SARS virus for decades. For almost as long, they have been warning of the danger of a pandemic. Why are people still prepared to believe in a conspiracy? “New attention economy!” Sara Gómez
