This short film looks back on the iconic musical / fantasy feature film ZERO PATEINCE (1993) with filmmaker John Greyson, executive producer Anna Stratton and lead actor John Robinson. These formidable talents share the origin story, challenges and global impact of ZERO PATIENCE. Singing and dancing its way through a gloriously entertaining exposé with cheeky defiance and stinging wit, ZERO PATIENCE explodes the myths surrounding AIDS while turning conventional thinking on its head. This raunchy romp about sex, science and scapegoats tells the story of Patient Zero, the French Canadian flight attendant accused of bringing AIDS to North America. The film's combination of activist zeal and aesthetic playfulness earned Canadian director John Greyson pride of place in the emerging New Queer Cinema movement.
