Ministry of Health

Director: Jorge Bordello
2020, 6’ 58’’, English with Turkish subtitles

Jorge Bordello is interested in the wrinkles between document and fiction, the family archive and the national history, the montage of the body and public life. Ministry of Health employs the aesthetics of horror movies and silent film to evoke the adverse effects of pharmaceuticals on four men living with HIV in the city of Tlaxcala, Mexico.
