    Through watching the documentary Fire in the Blood, we are fully submerged into the senseless struggle of Third World nations to obtain low-cost antiretroviral therapy (ARV) for the treatment of HIV/AIDS. The antagonists of the film are pharmaceutical firms (collectively referred to as Big Pharma) who, through the utilization of false advertising, patents, and international treaties, barr citizens of developing nations from receiving the quality treatment they rightly deserve.
