American Experience: Influenza 1918

By the dawn of the 19th century, the most deadly killer in human history, tuberculosis, had killed one in seven of all the people who had ever lived. Told through the remembrances of those who lived—and were cured—at tuberculosis sanatoriums, along with historians and scientists, this is a powerful reminder of the centuries when American families lived under the constant shadow of a terrible death.

It was the worst epidemic in American history, killing over 600,000—until it mysteriously disappeared.
