The 20-year history of HIV/AIDS and search for the reasons why individuals, institutions and governments have until now failed to curb the spread of the disease. We meet those who personally have been implicated in this struggle as we try to show how this epidemic forces us to confront basic questions which concern us all, but which often remain taboo: our sexuality, our beliefs, our religion, our human relations, our social decisions. The HIV/AIDS epidemic is shown here as being revelatory of the shortcomings of the new world order. The spread of the virus as conveyed by globalization enlightens us as to the economic and power relations between the rich nations of the North and the poor nations of the South. We must take note of our failure to create an egalitarian and interdependent society. This film forces us to look the realities of the world in the face and to reconsider our social and economic choices and priorities.
