BloodStream Media is proud to present The Factor Revolution: The Last 60 Years in Hemophilia Treatment, a three-episode special series with over forty interviews from community members, doctors, experts and advocates. We take a deep look at the history of factor treatment from the 1950's to today. The Factor Revolution pulls together source material, news reports, white papers, and original audio content from the film Bad Blood and the "HIV Story Project." 

Episode 2: The Contamination Crisis pulls together first-hand accounts from survivors of the HIV/AIDS outbreak, often referred to in our community as "the contamination crisis." This series - and especially this episode - was created in partnership with The HIV Story Project and the seminal documentary film, Bad Blood.
