Great film on a really interesting and important story
A really great film on a story that needs to be told. It is story of how access to vital, low cost AIDS drugs was actively blocked to people in developing countries in the late 1990s.The information contained in the film is quite astonishing as you understand the extent of the monopolization on drug patents that resulted in the denial of the rights of thousands of dying people to receive medical treatment from drugs that were not only readily available but could be made affordable.
This excellent film will help ensure the facts are not forgotten and it is far from being a negative production, with the positivity of the people involved in the campaign coming through.
A Story that Needs to be Heard
Having specifically dealt with the issue of access to antiretroviral (ARV) medication in my work, I found this to be an excellent portrayal of the social/economic/political and environmental aspects of access. The commentary was fair and nuanced and, I felt, well-balanced – bringing together the contribution (or lack thereof) of different stakeholders internationally, to tell one coherent story about the struggle to make life-saving treatment available. It is to the Director’s credit that this was told in such a measured tone, without the hysteria and rhetoric that can accompany such stories. I look forward to the DVD release so that I can show it to students – it is a story that needs to be heard.
