Christine Maggiore: I just want to read four things that you can find on the back of the drug ads, that in the front have handsome, tanned men climbing up mountains in short shorts, and smiling women, and all that stuff... And in the back it says
[reading]
Christine Maggiore: , At this time there is no evidence that Ziagen will help you live longer or have fewer of the medical problems associated with HIV or AIDS... It is not yet known whether Crixivan will extend your life or reduce your chances of getting other illnesses associated with HIV... At present, there are no results - none! - from controlled clinical trials evaluating the effects of Viramune on the incidence of opportunistic infections or survival... And finally there is one that simply says
[reading again]
Christine Maggiore: , There have been no clinical trials conducted with Combivir.
[to the camera]
Christine Maggiore: If these drugs would show health benefits which they don't, in the form of long term, controlled scientific studies published in the medical literature, the drugs' companies would be putting the good news on the front page, instead of putting these disclaimers on the back page.

Overall, this documentary is fair and does not manipulate any of the participant's contributions, regardless of which side of the debate from which those contributions are proffered, so in that respect it is certainly not one-sided, or otherwise unfair, as some of the other commentators have charged. There are plenty of resources out there that fully flesh-out the mainstream position regarding HIV, so expecting a re-hashing of that position from a documentary wishing to question that hypothesis is itself an unfair sentiment, and one that can only serve to support continued censorship about this topic.
Overall, this documentary is well-made and watching it is not a crime (at least not yet). If you are intelligent and like to research a topic before taking a position, then you will probably find much of value in this documentary. Furthermore, the claims made by the dissident contributors are supported by an uncensored evaluation of the collected epidemiological facts and that is easily verified by anyone who cares enough to explore the issue further. Whether you believe HIV=AIDS or not, the current HIV consensus has become a quasi religion, a belief system. All belief systems should be independently evaluated using scientific means, and that is really all that this documentary is encouraging its audience to do--to independently evaluate the evidence, without succumbing to the prejudices that are incessantly spewed by the very vocal AIDS majority.
