Contents Summary
A documentary about the AIDS epidemic and market-oriented economic reforms in Vietnam. In 1986, the Vietnamese government embarked on a path of reform known as ‘doi moi’, or the new way. Free market policies were adopted, money was borrowed from the IMF, state owned industries were sold and public health and education were decimated. AIDS arrived at the same time. In 1990 the first case was detected. Increases in poverty, drug use and prostitution that accompanied ‘doi moi’, have led to a greater risk of infection. The film combines visual montages of Ho Chi Minh City which illustrate the contradictions of contemporary Vietnam with interviews with people at the greatest risk from the epidemic: destitute women in the sex trade and drug addicts.
