Estigma

2025 · 23 min

A quiet, sober documentary that looks plainly at stigma and the people who carry it, leaving a lingering ache.

Directed by
Pilar García Elegido
Overview
Does stigma towards HIV still exist? Testimonies from experts and people living with HIV answer this question. One of the participants is Josep María Tomás who in 2000 starred in POSITIVO, a documentary nominated for the Goya award and winner of multiple awards. STIGMA returns to the topic 25 years later.
