An imperfect man fights for
survival during an uncertain time in America. Inspired by true events, Ron
Woodroof's story of strength is told in DALLAS BUYERS CLUB.
Academy Award winner Matthew McConaughey is Ron Woodroof an electrician and rodeo cowboy. In 1985, he is well into an unexamined existence with a devil-may-care lifestyle.
Suddenly, Ron is blindsided by being
diagnosed as H.I.V.-positive and given 30 days to live. Yet he will not, and
does not, accept a death sentence.
His crash course of research
reveals a lack of approved treatments and medications in the U.S., so Ron
crosses the border into Mexico. There, he learns about alternative treatments
and begins smuggling them into the U.S., challenging the medical and scientific
community including his concerned physician, Dr. Eve Saks (Jennifer
Garner).
An outsider to the gay community, Ron finds an unlikely ally in fellow AIDS patient Rayon (Academy Award winner Jared Leto), a transsexual who shares Ron's lust for life. Rayon also shares Ron's entrepreneurial spirit: seeking to avoid government sanctions against selling non-approved medicines and supplements, they establish a buyers club, where H.I.V.-positive people pay monthly dues for access to the newly acquired supplies. Deep in the heart of Texas, Rons pioneering underground collective beats loud and strong. With a growing community of friends and clients, Ron fights for dignity, education, and acceptance. In the years following his diagnosis, the embattled Lone Star loner lives life to the fullest like never before.
‘Dallas Buyers Club’ is released and distributed by CAPTIVE
CINEMA.
