In a documentary that is both intensely personal and highly political, Mike Hoolbloom draws parallels between the AIDS epidemic, Covid19, and the wave of neo-liberalism that took over the world ‘like a virus’.

Mixing 8mm films, videogames and clips ranging from Margaret Thatcher to David Hasselhoff he asks poignant questions on the myth of personal freedom, and how that has eroded values like solidarity, healthcare and the fight against economic injustice.
