*Event Details:*

*The effort to provide the best available treatments for diseases
throughout the world has frequently been hampered by various industry and
government obstacles like patent laws and trade agreements that drive up
prices for medications and protocols. Never was this more clear than in the
late 1990s and early 2000s when millions of people infected with HIV in
Africa and other developing areas were denied access to drugs benefitting
patients in the West. The production and availability of generic versions
of these medications revolutionized the nature of HIV treatment and made it
possible to treat millions of people. The new award-winning documentary,
Fire in the Blood, provides an in-depth look at the history of that great
breakthrough.

Join us for a short preview and discussion of Fire In The Blood and current
U.S. government trade and global health policies, with expert panelists,
including the film’s director, as they examine this history and explain how
the battle for affordable medicines and equal access for all patients
continues today, through, for example, the proposed provisions in the
Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPP), which threaten to restrict
access to generic competition.

Panelists:
Dylan Mohan Gray, Director/Producer/Writer/Editor, Fire in the Blood
James Love, Director, Knowledge Ecology International
Els Torreele, Director, Access to Essential Medicines Initiative, Open
Society Foundations
Sharonann Lynch, HIV/AIDS Policy Advisor, Doctors Without Borders
