FACTOR 8 is about to take its place in history as one of the most tragic pharmaceutical drug stories since Thalidomide. Made from tainted blood bought from the Arkansas prison system, Factor 8 infected thousands of unsuspecting Canadians with HIV and hepatitis C—and the Canadians were only the tip of the iceberg.

Under the watchful eye of the Department of Corrections and the Arkansas government with Bill Clinton at the helm, FACTOR 8 uncovers the devastating human tragedy that took place when blood tainted with viral hepatitis and HIV/AIDS was allowed to pass through the prison blood donation system, sold to pharmaceutical companies and used to make a drug that was given to hemophiliacs around the world. This is a story of blood for profit, government cover-up and a fundamental moral flaw that is shocking in its implications.

As more cases are discovered and the death toll continues to rise, lawsuits abound and investigations begin again. Kelly Duda’s dedication to the truth is an inspiration—this expose wears his heart on its sleeve, refusing to let the victims die in vain.
