1. The Truth About HIV
HIV/Aids has claimed over 34 million lives worldwide. Even though the stigma still remains, a diagnosis now is no longer a death sentence. This fascinating documentary looks at the science keeping HIV at bay, and examines the moral panic that erupted when the virus first took hold, leading to calls for patients to be quarantined for life.
