Film producer spotlights tainted Arkansas prison blood
FACTOR 8 will be screening at the Riverdale 10 Cinemas, Saturday, May 19 and Sunday, May 20th as part of the 1st Annual Little Rock Film Festival.
A Q and A discussion will take place afterwards.
FACTOR 8 explores how tainted blood was harvested from sick and diseased prisoners in Arkansas while Bill Clinton was governor and sold around the world infecting thousands of patients with hepatitis C and AIDS.
FACTOR 8 originally premiered in Hollywood as part of the American Film Institute Los Angeles Film Festival (AFI FEST) and garnered a stellar review from Variety (see below) and recently was screened at the King Center/ MLK National Historic Site in Atlanta.
