By 1987, 70% of hemophiliacs in the Unites States – 10,000 people – were infected with HIV and hepatitis from their FDA approved medication. They leave behind a legacy of suffering that reminds each of us what can happen when the “system” fails. BAD BLOOD is a cautionary tale, bringing together patients, doctors, drug manufacturers, and government regulators to recollect how the worst medical disaster of the 20th Century was allowed to occur and cautions us to remember, remain vigilant, and to demand a safer system. Currently in production. Seeking funding and distribution. Please email us for more information. Please visit the Bad Blood page to read more about this film. |
