This trailer is for a movie depicting HIV in the Southern USA. It's due out in July of 2012. The trailer is a reminder of how thin the veneer of HIV being handled well n the USA actually is. We're told to look out for all the other people in the world that have HIV. That's great & all, but before we all go & join Bono, why not take a closer look at home?
Are the citizens of the southern states not as worthy as the rest of the world to receive aid? Are they too rich to have medications sold to them for the same costs as those sold in Africa & other struggling economies? Do they somehow not deserve assistance because they're Southern, Gay, Black, poor, under educated...?
I'm not sure how wide an opening this film will get. Probably not much at all. It'll take until it's for rent for most people to get a chance to see it. Then I'm sure some jerks will complain how well off these people have it because they live in America. Guess what? Not everyone living in the States is rich or even getting by from day to day.
Keep your eyes open for this one, It'll be interesting to see how this plays out.
Cya..
