CGiii Comment
It's not a particularly good film...technically speaking.
Nor is it particularly informative...some men bareback, it's their choice...knowing most of the risks...as long as they are up front about their HIV status...then, what's the problem?
If they are not, if they lie...then a crime has been committed...this is the path that this film should have followed...because many people have been infected through lies...and carelessness.
A subject that deserves a much better film.

The Bareback Issue is a 27 minute documentary film about bareback culture in London and Berlin. It takes the form of frank interviews with men who bareback, their actual experiences, habits, thoughts and feelings. Two doctors are also interviewed on the risks and consequences of the practice. In addition there are extracts from a panel show at the Royal Vauxhall Tavern where the spread of HIV among gay men was discussed. Explicit language is used. Some will find the film offensive. The film was shot and produced in London and Berlin. It is in English.
