a lot of dangerous and inflammatory statements and a little science

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 August 2016

If any of this information is true then it's important to set it out right. Its hard to take something seriously when it's discussing empirical evidence when its doesn't use any itself. there's a lot of anecdotal and emotive evidence presented here and frankly a lot of it is explosive and downright insulting. But the worst thing about this film is the rehashing of discriminatory viewpoints that enflamed prejudice and hate way back when this disease was first experienced. Hard to watch something that starts with "there is no AIDS epidemic" when you know the numbers personally and documented. this film is dangerous as is and if the makers are serious about their points then it should be more thorough. the makers need to take responsibility for their statements. this information left as it is is very dangerous. why are there no major HIV or AIDS foundations or organizations/ included in the discussion?

Ridiculous Unscientific and Quite Frankly Dangerous

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 November 2018

I am all about free speech but I am totally against putting together a documentary with somewhat of a genuine feel to it that contains information that is simply not true and leads the person viewing it to think twice about validated, tried and tested, medicinal therapy for a life threatening illness. AIDS denialism is dangerous. The idea that the triple cocktail is not needed and that the body can cure itself naturally if given a chance is patently false.

Old diseases rebranded so virus-cancer-link researchers can sustain funding

It's been over 30yrs since HIV was announced as the probable cause of AIDS, and the fact that no tangible progress has been made in finding a cure/vaccine reasonably suggests that we must question the hypothesis; in fact many have been for decades but their cogent voices have been stifled for decades.
Zwiren's film looks at the shoddy science behind HIV and the lives affected by this medical holocaust (the early high doses of AZT killed people quickly, there is no doubt). It spans the whole history of AIDS from inception to present day. If you're unaware of HIV scepticism (erroneously also called AIDS denialism, even though the diseases which comprise AIDS are not denied) this is a good film to start on.

People used to believe that cholesterol was the cause of heart disease, and if that myth can now shatter so can this.
Poverty in Africa, fast-lane (drug) living amongst a subset of gay men, immune disorders from haemophilia... There is no one target for AIDS, it is multi-factorial; 'HIV' is more often a clue and not causal.
