Dan Krauss Documentary ‘5B’ About the HIV/AIDS Epidemic Acquired by Verizon Media (Video)
Verizon Media, with the help of Oscar-winner Julianne Moore, announced during its Newfront event late Tuesday in New York that it has acquired and plans to release the HIV/AIDS crisis documentary “5B.”
The film focuses on the uplifting story of a small collection of nurses and caregivers in San Francisco General Hospital’s ward 5B, who banded together to provide courage and compassion to those devastated by the HIV/AIDS epidemic in the early ’80s. It’s directed by Oscar-nominated filmmaker Dan Krauss (“Extremis”).
