description BACKGROUND: Ethiopia has one of the worst podoconiosis rates in the world, affecting >1.5 million patients. We present our ethnographic film ‘Tigist, the story of a girl with podoconiosis’ and its potential use in tackling podoconiosis. METHODS: We conducted visual ethnography, consisting of video-recorded participant observations and interviews with seven patients, three healthcare workers and two podoconiosis experts. RESULTS: We acquired video recordings of social moments, the state of podoconiosis patients’ bodies and minds, their emotions and the impact of poverty. CONCLUSIONS: Our film allows for an intensified understanding of patients’ daily experiences with podoconiosis, potentially impacting care, awareness and medical teaching programs.
