• Episode 1: The Face of the First Case — Our first episode takes us to the beginning – the story of how a young adult fell through the cracks of a strained health system to become the outbreak’s index case.
• Episode 2: My Four-Year-Old Son — Episode two describes the complex TB journey of a young mother and her four year old son, before, during and after learning that he had contracted a rare form of the disease.
• Episode 3: Get Away from Me — Our third episode looks deeper into the impact of stigma and the experiences of a motivated young woman whose world was up-ended by TB at multiple points throughout her life.
• Episode 4: What it Takes — In the final episode of this series, TB program staff reflect on their lessons from the outbreak, including what worked well, and what is still needed for TB elimination.

This series provides in-depth stories of TB survivors and front line workers, educational information on promising strategies for an effective community outbreak response, as well as insights into what is necessary to end tuberculosis in northern First Nations communities.
