The documentary film, Fire in the Blood, which was selected for the World Cinema Documentary Competition at the Sundance Film Festival, one of the most prestigious and competitive festival for independent films, is releasing today (Oct 11).
Directed by Punjabi-Irish filmmaker Dylan Mohan Gray, the doumentary is an intricate tale of ‘medicine, monopoly and malice’ and tells the story of how Western pharmaceutical companies and governments aggressively blocked access to low-cost AIDS drugs for the countries of Africa and the global south in the years after 1996 – causing ten million or more unnecessary deaths – and the improbable group of people who decided to fight back.
Shot on four continents with contributions from global figures such as Bill Clinton, Desmond Tutu and Joseph Stiglitz, Fire in the Blood ultimately celebrates the remarkable coalition which came together to stop ‘the Crime of the Century’ and save million of lives in the process. The narration is done by Academy Award winner William Hurt.
The film is released by PVR Directors Rare in India.
