Aids Film Hits Shops 4 Years After Release – Chan Siu-sin

From South China Morning Post, via China AIDS Survey Daily News Service (link):

An award-winning HIV/Aids documentary denied a public screening for four years has finally made its way into mainland DVD shops.

Independent documentary director Chen Weijun, who sneaked into a village disguised as a peasant to make To Live is Better Than to Die, said the move highlighted the increasing openness of the central government in tackling the deadly disease.
