AID S IDA
Yann Beauvais

into what were conceived as mutually exclusive risk groups: homosexuals,
drug-addicts, Haitians. Do you know what a risk group is? A population
at risk? The basis of exclusion. These risk groups, for different political,
economic or social reasons become the perfect scapegoat." An inspirational
film exploring the cultural anxiety surrounding AIDS.
