FACTOR 8

“THIS CASE IS ABOUT BAD SCIENCE AND BAD BUSINESS NOT BAD BLOOD”

A limited drama series based on Eric Weinberg’s Blood on Their Hands, the true story of one of the most devastating scandals in medical history. At its heart is Eric Weinberg, a 30 something New Jersey lawyer drawn into the fight of his life. When, in the early 1980’s, thousands of haemophiliacs, including children, are infected with HIV through contaminated blood products, Eric takes on the Goliaths of Big Pharma, uncovering a web of corruption and negligence that spans continents.

What begins as a local case soon evolves into an international fight for justice, spanning small town America, the neon lit chaos of Tokyo and Nicaragua’s blood harvesting prison farms. As the case consumes Eric’s career, his relationships, and his very sense of self, his pursuit of justice becomes a fight against a system corrupted by greed, politics, and the unchecked power of industry.

Raw, relentless, and emotionally charged, the series blends the intensity of Dark Waters, The Insider, and Chernobyl.
