►ABOUT BAD BLOOD: A CAUTIONARY TALE
Ten years in the making, the documentary chronicles how the medicine to treat hemophilia infected 10,000 Americans with HIV and 15,000 with hepatitis C. Faced with evidence that pharmaceutical companies and government regulators knew the medicine was contaminated with deadly viruses, the bleeding disorder community launched a powerful and inspiring fight to right the system that failed them. The film brings together patients, doctors, drug manufacturers and government regulators to revisit how the worst medical disaster of the 20th century was allowed to occur.

What if your life-saving medicine contained deadly viruses – and the drug manufacturers, the government, and your own doctors knew but failed to warn you? Through the eyes of survivors and family members, BAD BLOOD chronicles how a “miracle” treatment for hemophilia became an agent of death for 10,000 Americans. Faced with evidence that pharmaceutical companies and government regulators knew the product was contaminated with deadly viruses from the 1960s through the early 1990s, they launched a powerful and inspiring fight to right the system that failed them.
