We're still unsure how the AIDS epidemic began. Between 1957 and 1960, Hilary Koprowski was researching a cure for polio. He manufactured a vaccine from monkeys, probably chimps, and injected it into almost one million Africans. This award-winning documentary suggests that as scientists tried to rid the world of one disease, they may have caused another epidemic.
As a source material, this authoritative news report shows evidence for a narrative exploring the origins of HIV (and AIDS) as the consequence of a vaccination program in West Africa that utilized live virus cultures grown in cells retrieved from monkeys and apes.
