Story of HIV in Ireland - TV Documentarty on tonight
« on: November 28, 2024, 06:52:25 am »
I am planning on watching The Story of HIV/AIDS in Ireland which is on RTE 1 TV tonight. If anyone is interested you can watch it online too, details at bottom of that article link I posted.

Let's see if it is a good documentary or not? I am hoping it spends some time getting the U=U message across, instead of scaring people with horror stories of the pre-treatment days.

Thanks for posting this notice. I am in America and was able to get a copy from a couple of days ago from the RTÉ One showing.

So I watched this documentary last night. I guess it was OK. Kinda lacked some passion, I thought, but the unifying theme of the new sculpture erected in Phoenix Park brought together stories from the cis gay white man, trans woman, and haemophiliacs affected and spotlighted in the narratives.

I remembered why I dislike the Catholic Church so much after watching it. Sorry if that offends anyone, but it's how I feel. Was glad Maggie Thatcher's voice was all I heard from that monster, or I might have thrown my remote at the tele.

Very sad.

nice. i keep looking for it but haven't found it yet.
the memorial sculpture has a really nice form to it; but looks very rusty in the pictures.

Apparently it's supposed to be rusty we were told last Sunday. I said it needed some red primer but no.

some red primer
yes!

rusty hunk of metal or rust-red primer to help against weathering?
primer would be my artistic/practical choice. :)
