What has been called “the worst plague in human history” is still growing, decades after it first emerged on the world scene. It is incurable, devastating ― and 100 percent preventable. Part wake-up call, part awareness tool, Dangerous Silence is an open and honest portrayal of the complex dynamics of this devastating disease in the Buffalo/Niagara region. The documentary provides powerful examples of how this “equal opportunity destroyer” affects people from all walks of life. Local activists who are leading the fight to prevent and address HIV/AIDS among diverse populations also offer insights.
