Victorian adventurer and sexologist Sir Richard Francis Burton (John Robinson), following an "unfortunate encounter" with the Fountain of Youth in 1892, is 170 years old and living in Toronto, Canada. Burton, now living and working as the chief taxidermist at a Museum of Natural History, is searching for a centerpiece display for an exhibit in his Hall of Contagion. He comes up with the idea of featuring AIDS and the Patient Zero hypothesis. Accepting the popular belief that Zero introduced the virus to North America, Burton sets out to collect video footage from those who knew Zero to support the hypothesis. When Zero's doctor (Brenda Kamino), mother (Charlotte Boisjoli) and former airline colleague Mary (Dianne Heatherington), who is now with ACT UP, all refuse to demonize Zero, Burton manipulates the footage to make it appear as if they do and includes doctored photographs of Zero showing signs of Kaposi's sarcoma. He presents this preliminary version to the press.

Themes Medical-themed films, HIV/AIDS in film

L'Afrique n'est que mensonge. Avec obstination, les Africains refusent de voir la vérité en face. Le sida n'est pas une maladie inventée par les Blancs pour anéantir les Noirs. De plus,qui se cache derrière les interminables guerres fratricides qui détruisent le continent millénaire ? Les Blancs ou les Noirs eux-mêmes ? Ce film pose un regard sur cette Afrique qui refuse l'évidence. La parole, essence même de toutes les cultures du continent noir, est enfin libérée. Aujourd'hui elle est essentielle : question de vie ou de mort. L'Afrique se meurt du sida, des guerres, des maladies, de la misère. La question essentielle aujourd'hui est de savoir si l'Afrique se relèvera de ces fléaux comme elle a toujours su le faire.
