Novo Nordisk’s own film production department, FilmSolutions, won two awards at the World Media Festival in Hamburg for a documentary about Novo Nordisk’s Changing Diabetes® in Children project in Bangladesh.

The film was produced last year during the start of the project in Bangladesh, where the number of children with diabetes is growing at an alarming rate.

“It was heartbreaking to see the problems, but also nice to see the difference this project is making for these poor children,” says Keld von Eyben, manager and producer of FilmSolutions.
