DALLAS BUYER’S CLUB
On July 25, 1985 [1:54 – 6:41] Ron Woodroof, a drug using gambler who hangs out at rodeos collapses. A few days later he gets an electrical shock at work. At the hospital he is told by Dr. Eve Saks that he has AIDS, with a six month prognosis to live. Woodroof starts taking AZT, but it makes his condition worse. Woodroof goes to Mexico and starts taking ddC and peptide T. Woodroof smuggles the two drugs into the USA. Along with Rayon, a trans woman whom he had met earlier, he sets up “the Dallas Buyers Club,” charging HIV positives $400.00 a month for the drugs. The FDA makes the two drugs illegal and then Rayon dies. Woodroof becomes more concerned with getting the drugs to HIV positive people than making money. Woodroof’s lawsuit to be allowed to take peptide T fails.
The date is given in the film at 1:55 on a newspaper.
