This campaigning documentary indicts the pharmaceutical giants that could have saved millions from AIDS in the developing world.

Instead, they protected their lucrative patents and ensured that anti-retroviral drugs were unaffordable to all but rich Westerners.

Change eventually came through the efforts of doctors, activists and high-profile supporters (Clinton, take a bow), but the naked greed of "Big Pharma" still hangs over the film like a poison cloud.
