A shocking exposé of how pharmaceutical companies use patent law to keep
profits unconscionably high even at the expense of peoples' lives, and a
plea for universal access to affordable, life-saving generic medicines.

FIRE IN THE BLOOD tells the story of how Western pharmaceutical companies
and governments aggressively blocked access to affordable AIDS drugs,
causing ten million or more unnecessary deaths. It is also the inspiring
story of the improbable group of people who decided to fight back.

Shot on four continents and including interviews with global figures such
as President Bill Clinton, Bishop Desmond Tutu and economist Joseph
Stiglitz, FIRE IN THE BLOOD is the never-before-told true story of the
remarkable coalition, which came together to stop "the Corporate Crime of
the Century" and save millions of lives.
