Australian Greg’s health rapidly deteriorated when he turned 50. He was diagnosed with Hepatitis C. An effective drug exists on the market but it costs tens of thousands of dollars. Although much cheaper generic drugs are available in India they cannot be exported to richer countries where the patent holder sets monopoly prices. So Greg established an illegal distribution channel to make the drug available to him and others who cannot afford it. Many similar networks exist. This film allows their operators, patients and representatives of the pharmaceutical industry to speak out in order to investigate one of the critical points of the debate about the moral compatibility between market principles and health issues.
