Liu Xianhong, a Hebei peasant, contracted HIV from a routine hospital blood transfusion. This documentary is the story of her arduous but successful litigation against the hospital responsible. The film documents the fates of several families infected with HIV in the same manner, and reveals rural China's awakening social consciousness against the backdrop of the camaraderie, support, and love that the victims find in each other.
