Dallas buyers club [videorecording] / Remstar Films Truth Entertainment and Voltage Pictures present a Truth Entertainment/Voltage/Evolution Independent/R2 Films production; a film by Jean-Marc Vallée.
Texas cowboy Ron Woodroof's free-wheeling life was overturned in 1985 when he was diagnosed as HIV-positive and given 30 days to live. Shunned and ostracized by many old friends, bereft of government-approved medicines, he decided to take matters in his own hands, tracking down alternative treatments from all over the world by means both legal and illegal. Bypassing the establishment, he joined forces with an unlikely band of renegades and outcasts and established a hugely successful "buyers' club." -- Provided by the Publisher.
