Good controversial documentary

Warning: Spoilers
The film maker came to our university to show the documentary, as did the little girl from Eastern Europe (though she's not so little anymore, being 19) with her adoptive parents because they were from the area. It was a good documentary that had a variety of results in the audience. Some of our Biology professors had a real problem with the film, calling it an 'HIV/AIDS denialist' film which I thought was silly, considering how a university is supposed to be a place where you can listen to other people's opinions objectively and make your own decision on whether you believe it or not. The film makes the point that testing isn't as accurate as they make you think it is and that maybe the reason it's not accurate is because scientists have no idea what to test for. As to the scientists that say "He took me out of context" I don't honestly see how anything they said could be taken out of context, unless right before they began rolling they said "And I mean the complete opposite of what I'm saying right now." Our professors were concerned that if we didn't think HIV existed, we would go out and have random unprotected sex with people. It insulted our intelligence because obviously there is more than just HIV to worry about. Overall a good documentary that really makes you think.
