Description

A tale of medicine, monopoly and malice, this film tells the story of how Western pharmaceutical companies and governments blocked access to low-cost AIDS drugs for the countries of Africa and the global south after 1996 resulting in millions of unnecessary deaths. This video examines the true story of the coalition which came together to stop the 'crime of the century' and save millions of lives in the process.
