Bad Blood: A Cautionary Tale

What is your life saving medicine contained deadly viruses- and the drug manufacturers, the government, and your own doctors knew but failed to warn you? Through the eyes of survivors and family members, this film chronicles how a "miracle" treatment for hemophilia created in the 1960s became an agent of death for 10,000 Americans. Each dose of the treatment was pooled with blood from 60,000 individual blood donations, which was otherwise outlawed for fear of infection with hepatitis. Faced with evidence that pharmaceutical companies and government regulators knew the product was contaminated with deadly viruses, they launched a powerful and inspiring fight to right the system that failed them and to make it safer for all.
