Kai Jia. AIDS in a Chinese Village
Description
Kai Jia, a young girl living in a small Chinese village, was born HIV positive after her mother contracted AIDS from a blood transfusion while in the hospital. Shunned by neighbors because of her illness, she helps her father fight for justice when they learn that Kai Jia's mother's death could be traced back to the hospital's tainted blood supply. In telling Kai Jia's story, this program explores the cover-ups and corruption in a medical facility that ran a for-profit blood bank using contaminated blood-one of many that contributed to China's 1990s AIDS epidemic.
