HVTN: The Journey for an HIV Vaccine
While HIV and AIDS rarely make front page news today, a group of remarkable scientists and doctors have worked steadfastly for 25 years to solve medical science’s greatest challenge-sparking human immunity against a disease that destroys the immune system.
This documentary follows the ongoing quest for an HIV vaccine, revealing the behind-the-scenes efforts of renowned scientists, the involvement of diverse communities, the courage of selfless volunteers, and the growing certainty that we are closer than ever to ending the deadliest pandemic in modern history. It is a powerful portrayal of persistence, hope, and the urgent need—now more than ever—to support science in the pursuit of a more just and healthy world.
