It has been a whirlwind few weeks for director Dylan Mohan Gray. His feature film FIRE IN THE BLOOD recently opened the 2013 Sundance Film Festival to rave reviews. Now the documentary will be making its way to the UK. The film, which tells the story about how Western pharmaceutical companies and governments blocked access to low-cost AIDS drugs for Southern countries, has caused quite an angry reaction, according to Gray:
‘The audience reaction in the US was very angry and I think that’s been a very common reaction in the Western countries. People feel like they see what the governments are doing and it’s obviously not in their interests.’
But if you do leave the cinema February 22nd feeling like you want to scream your heads off, do not worry, Dylan Mohan Gray told us that there is something you can do and it will be all available on the FIRE IN THE BLOOD website.
‘On our website we have an option that will allow people to put in their postcode and send a letter to their MP asking for five or six specific policy objectives.’
Go to FIRE IN THE BLOOD to see what you can do.
FIRE IN THE BLOOD IS RELEASED FEBRUARY 22nd.

“People feel like they see what the governments are doing and it’s obviously not in their interests.” I always find it hard to believe when I learn that there are still people out there for whom this is news.
