Suffice it to say, the strategy of spotlighting a story of injustice via motion picture has had some success in the past.  But in 1993, the American drama film “Philadelphia,” starring actors Tom Hanks and Denzel Washington was one of the first mainstream Hollywood films to acknowledge the plight of the community stricken with HIV/AIDS. 
The film reportedly contributed to an outcry directed toward the risk-averse FDA to approve promising therapies.  The decade of the 1990s saw the creation of the National Task Force on AIDS Drug Development, large scale expanded access to pre-approved HIV therapies, and approval of a number of new drugs.
Incidentally, the Immunotherapy Treatment Protocol for Glioblastoma as highlighted in “Angel Fire,” which was developed by medical pioneers in the United States and Israel, received repeated roadblocks by the U.S. Administration’s HHS and FDA at the time.  A repeat of the bureaucratic delays by the government (as was also witnessed by the desperate  community inflicted with AIDS in the 1980s) led to dire consequences and the need for Cherie to seek treatment in Bangkok, Thailand… treatment that would have been much more successful had she not wasted precious time counting on regulators in her own country.
