Fire in the BloodSaturday, 2pm‘Fire in the Blood’ documents the crime of the century although it’s not your traditional whodunnit.Director Dylan Mohan Gray’s film portrays medication as the murder weapon; its victims number in the millions.It tells the story of how Western pharmaceutical companies and governments aggressively blocked access to low-cost AIDS drugs for African countries and those in the global south after 1996.The move caused ten million or more unnecessary deaths; ‘Fire in the Blood’ is also about the improbable group of people who fought back.Only the wealthy could afford AIDS drugs in African nations the drugs came with a price tag of $15,000 per year.‘Fire in the Blood’ was shot on four continents. It features such global figures as Nelson Mandela, Bill Clinton, and Desmond Tutu, and documents the never-before-told true story of the remarkable coalition that came together to save millions of lives.“I felt totally compelled to make this lm because the historian in me rst could not believe, and then could not accept, that there was not a single lm or even book in circulation which told this endlessly fascinating and important story,” Mr Gray said. “Several years ago I got to know a couple of the key gures in the film, and soon thereafter began to learn about the sick business of medicine.“The more I read, saw and heard, the more I became convinced that this lm had to be made, and made before the story it tells was completely obscured and lost.”
