The documentary Todo cuidado do mundo (Every care in the world) addresses daily events in the life of women, mothers of children with congenital microcephaly, malformation resulting from contamination of pregnant women by Zika virus. The expansion of the Zika virus and its consequences for pregnant women are addressed in the documentary, which focuses on the social impact generated by that virus especially on the life of mothers who have children with microcephaly. In addition to the maternal reality, the video presents the opinion of health professionals and discusses the issue surrounding congenital microcephaly and its impact on the right to health. Discussions about the support that mothers of children with microcephaly require and their daily needs contribute to sensitize the public to the challenges faced by them.
