The jury citation read as follows:

“An amazing feat for a first-time filmmaker who organises well-researched and compelling evidence to expose how the corporate world of pharma is complicit in the genocidal murder of those who are priced out of existence. Its direct approach builds an argument that is not only striking, revealing and outrageous, but simply necessary. The jury wishes to add that had this not been a first-time film, we would have still found a way to award it.”

5 OCTOBER 2013

Fire in the Blood was awarded the first-ever Political Film Prize at Filmfest Hamburg!

Many thanks to Filmfest Hamburg, the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung, the Jury and very special thanks to the incomparable Fatih Akin for accepting the award on our behalf at the closing ceremony!!

The jury citation said in part: “The western pharmaceutical industry prevents the manufacture of generic (affordable non-brand name) drugs and decides who may live and who must die. The omnipotence of the industrial associations (in this case the WTO – World Trade Organisation) is very well researched and made appallingly clear. A film that serves as a call to arms.”

The jury citation said in part: “Fire in the Blood is truly outstanding.  The real story of the struggle to make HIV and AIDS drugs available and affordable for the world’s poor is nothing like the headlines we’ve read.  It is both a heart-breaking and a heart-warming story all in the same film and it is elevated by exceptional access to captivating moments of deep humanity and emotion.”
