The ABC, Screen Australia and Screen Queensland have announced a four-part musical drama series inspired by Australia’s radical response to AIDS in the early 1980s.
According to the ABC: ‘The series tells the story of people from politics, medicine and affected communities grappling separately with a terrifying new disease. With no cure in sight, they realise they must all work together to succeed, requiring something truly radical: trust. In the face of moral crusaders and public panic, these courageous, disparate groups join forces to stop the spread of AIDS and save thousands of lives.’
