                  <jats:title>Background</jats:title>
                  <jats:p>Ethiopia has one of the worst podoconiosis rates in the world, affecting &amp;gt;1.5 million patients. We present our ethnographic film ‘Tigist, the story of a girl with podoconiosis’ and its potential use in tackling podoconiosis.</jats:p>

                  <jats:title>Methods</jats:title>
                  <jats:p>We conducted visual ethnography, consisting of video-recorded participant observations and interviews with seven patients, three healthcare workers and two podoconiosis experts.</jats:p>

                  <jats:title>Results</jats:title>
                  <jats:p>We acquired video recordings of social moments, the state of podoconiosis patients’ bodies and minds, their emotions and the impact of poverty.</jats:p>

               <jats:sec>
                  <jats:title>Conclusions</jats:title>
                  <jats:p>Our film allows for an intensified understanding of patients’ daily experiences with podoconiosis, potentially impacting care, awareness and medical teaching programs.</jats:p>
