This documentary, about the growing popular suspicion towards the polio vaccine in Pakistan, debuted in New York last month. Here's an interview with director Tom Roberts, who saw some extreme opposition to the vaccination campaign while he was in Pakistan:

“There was one Taliban at a rally,” Roberts said, “who held up his daughter, who was crippled by polio, and called her a martyr. He said, ‘This is the price we must pay to keep this virus alive so we can re-export it to the West.’ There are some hard cases out there.”
