What Blood Brother Is About

Steve Hoover's 2013 documentary tells the story of his friend Rocky Braat. Braat was an American travelling in India when he came across a hostel for children living with HIV and decided to stay. The film follows the years he spends there, the illness, the bureaucracy and his own hesitations. It won both the grand jury and audience awards at Sundance. The same film also drew sharp criticism for putting an American man rather than the children at the centre of the story and for leaving out most of the local context; the director answered those criticisms in an open letter. Both of those belong to the record of the film.
