Censored : Positive Hell Joan Shenton HIV AIDS
16.3.2017
This ten minute video describes the censoring of "Positive Hell", an award-winning 30 minute documentary that follows the remarkable lives of five people, once diagnosed HIV-positive, who chose for varying reasons not to take the HIV treatments offered as seemingly their only hope. Almost three decades later, all five were living entirely normally without the treatments. Raquel had had children who themselves are now healthy adults and "HIV"-negative.
In 2016, the film was selected for the London Independent Film Festival and then withdrawn. It was also selected and then de-selected for the Portobello Film Festival, and scheduled for screening at a New York bookshop, Bluestockings, but then banned
