Pizza and a Movie: Dallas Buyers Club

Join us at Senior Resources of Guilford for a fun evening of pizza and the movie, Dallas Buyers Club. The 2013 American biographical film that tells the story of Ron Woodroof (McConaughey), a cowboy diagnosed with AIDS in the mid-1980s, a time when both the etiology and the treatment of HIV/AIDS were poorly understood and its sufferers subject to stigma. As part of an ongoing experimental AIDS treatment movement, Woodroof smuggles unapproved pharmaceutical drugs into Texas to treat his symptoms. Here, he distributes them to fellow people with AIDS by establishing the "Dallas Buyers Club", all the while facing opposition from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
