A chilling investigation dives into the looming threat scientists call “Disease X” — an unknown pathogen capable of triggering the next global pandemic. Led by physician and broadcaster Chris van Tulleken, the documentary explores how modern life, global travel, and human–animal contact are creating the perfect conditions for a catastrophic outbreak. What begins as a scientific inquiry quickly becomes a race against time to understand how close we may already be to the next crisis. To uncover where Disease X might emerge, van Tulleken retraces the fault lines of past outbreaks, from the deadly Nipah virus in Malaysia to the spread of bird flu among dairy cattle in California. Through frontline reporting, expert interviews, and unsettling real-world examples, the film reveals how fragile global health defenses truly are — and why the next pandemic may not be a question of if, but when.

In a world where convenience rules what lands on our plates, this eye-opening investigation pulls back the curtain on the true cost of our modern food economy.
