About: Zero Patience

An Entity of Type: movie, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Zero Patience is a 1993 Canadian musical film written and directed by John Greyson. The film examines and refutes the urban legend of the alleged introduction of HIV to North America by a single individual, Gaëtan Dugas. Dugas, better known as Patient Zero, was tagged in the popular imagination with the blame in large measure because of Randy Shilts's history of the early days of the AIDS epidemic, And the Band Played On (1987). The film tells its story against the backdrop of a romance between a time-displaced Sir Richard Francis Burton and the ghost of "Zero" (the character is not identified by Dugas' name).

  • Zero Patience è un film del 1993 scritto e diretto da John Greyson. Il film racconta la sua storia sullo sfondo di una storia d'amore tra un "fuoritempo" Sir Richard Francis Burton ed il fantasma di Zero, mescolando musical, fantastico e melodramma, la leggenda metropolitana della presunta introduzione dell'HIV in Nord America attraverso un singolo individuo, Gaëtan Dugas, meglio conosciuto come paziente zero. Steward omosessuale di una compagnia di volo canadese, Dugas fu un assiduo frequentatore della comunità gay di San Francisco, dove si recava ogni anno in occasione del Gay pride. Scopertosi malato di questa nuova e sconosciuta malattia, decise di vivere il tempo che gli rimaneva divertendosi il più possibile, avendo rapporti sessuali con centinaia di uomini, senza informare nessuno della malattia che lo affliggeva.
