A thorough, sobering film about profit and compassion, Fire In The Blood administers large doses of hope and despair. In the campaign to bring affordable treatments for HIV/AIDS to the world’s developing countries, the efforts of multinationals and western governments to hinder the manufacture of generic versions of antiretroviral drugs are somewhere on the far side of appalling, effectively condemning millions to unnecessary death. Director Dylan Mohan Gray seems to take corporate greed almost for granted; but his primary focus on the brave few who fought for justice and fairness is why this is, ultimately, a story not about business and law, but humans and humanity.
