3 NEEDLES presents a
portrait of people all over the world who struggle to sustain
their spirits in the face of the deadly AIDS crisis. This luminous
film visits rural China, a plantation in South Africa, and Montreal's
porn industry, to tell three separate yet universal stories from
the pandemic.
In China, Ping (Lucy Liu) is a pregnant young woman running
a black market blood collection scam that creates a mini-epidemic
in a rural village. In Montreal, Denys (Shawn Ashmore) is a
porn actor hiding his HIV-positive status in order to continue
working and supporting his mother (Stockard Channing), who
herself goes to extreme lengths to provide for the family's
future. And, in South Africa, Sister Clara (Chloë Sevigny) is a
young Catholic nun driven to convert the rapidly dying Africans
and makes a desperate bargain with a corrupt plantation owner
to help prevent the spread of HIV in the region. Sandra Oh
and Olympia Dukakis portray nuns in the same order who accompany
her on the journey.
There will be a reception immediately after the
screening at a location to be announced, featuring special
guests and a silent auction of autographed scripts, posters
and costumes and props from the production.
Tickets are $25.00 and all proceeds will benefit Gay Men's Health Crisis.
