Filming Unspeakable at cemetary

“Unspeakable” Part 2: Let’s Talk About It.

Following World AIDS Day, we are providing the opportunity to continue learning and healing from our community’s important history. The conversation continues with Robert C. Cooper; Blood Brother, Creator, Writer, Director, and Executive Producer of the TV series, “Unspeakable.”

Based on first-person experience and accounts, “Unspeakable” is a mini-series that chronicles the emergence of HIV and Hepatitis throughout Canada during the early 1980-90s and the tragedy that resulted after thousands with bleeding disorders were infected by tainted blood. Join Rob and special guest panelists for this Q & A session as we dive deeper into the individual Episodes (2-4) of “Unspeakable.”

Following this event, attendees will be invited to join a Decompression session at 8:35 pm ET. The link to this session will be given to attendees during the main event.
