Set in 1985 Dallas, Dallas Buyers Club is a raw and uncompromising biographical drama that tells the true story of Ron Woodroof, a hard-living, homophobic electrician who discovers he has AIDS and is given just 30 days to live.
Refusing to accept a death sentence, Woodroof (Matthew McConaughey) begins researching alternative treatments and eventually starts a "buyers club". In an era where the FDA was slow to approve life-saving drugs and big pharma prioritized profits, Woodroof smuggled unapproved antiviral drugs from Mexico and distributed them to the HIV-positive community in exchange for membership fees. dallas buyers club filmup
