Plot

In a riveting intersection of "medicine, monopoly, and malice," Fire in the Blood unveils the untold narrative of how Western pharmaceutical conglomerates and their government allies deliberately obstructed access to affordable AIDS medication for nations in the global south post-1996. This heart-wrenching strategy led to over ten million needless deaths - a chilling manifestation of corporate greed. Yet, amid this grim reality, an unlikely assembly of heroes rose against the tide. Filmed across four continents, the movie illuminates the inspiring tale of this extraordinary alliance that dared to defy 'the crime of the century,' striving to save countless lives. With compelling contributions from global powerhouses like Bill Clinton, Desmond Tutu, and Joseph Stiglitz, Fire in the Blood is a gripping chronicle of hope and resistance, painting a vivid picture of an audacious fight against institutional injustice.
