CGiii Comment

Tonic travels to Jackson, Mississippi, one of the hardest hit Southern cities of HIV, to investigate why black gay men are getting diagnosed and falling to a disease that can be managed. The documentary discusses issues tied to systematic racial discrimination, such as low income and poverty, lack of access to adequate health care, limited HIV testing and education and stigma attached to the virus. Tonic meets heroic social workers and researchers struggling to bring HIV+ the care they need, as well as HIV+ men who are speaking out about their disease in hopes of changing the stigmas attached to it.
