Dir: Louise Hogarth, USA, 2002, Beta SP, 62 mins
[Rating not confirmed]
The Gift is a timely look at a fascinating and almost unbelievable
phenomenon - the eroticisation of deliberate HIV infection. It shines a
balanced yet uncompromising light on the effectiveness of HIV prevention
strategies. Hogarth proposes that mixed messages continue to fuel a
complex and potentially deadly game. The Gift features a young gay
man, Doug Hitzel, who now bitterly regrets his decision to become infected
with the HIV virus. Evenly presented and honest, Hogarth's film wades
through very tricky and fragile personal and political waters without
being preachy or judgemental.
This session will be followed by a discussion.
