Film claims group plotted to infect black Africans with HIV
Seriously? Sounds like an obscure documentarian is just trying to make his bones with some rather absurd allegations.Los Angeles (AFP) - A plot by white mercenaries to spread HIV through black South Africa via a phony vaccination program: it sounds like the stuff of pulp spy novels, but documentary-maker Mads Brugger is clear that this is one sensational conspiracy that actually happened.
The Danish director set out to investigate the mysterious 1961 plane crash that killed the head of the UN in modern-day Zambia for his latest film -- but says he ended up uncovering something vastly more sinister.
In "Cold Case: Hammarskjold," Brugger meets Alexander Jones, a former member of a clandestine paramilitary organization with alleged ties to South Africa's apartheid government.
Jones tells the filmmaker that the group undertook nefarious HIV research in the 1980s and 1990s as part of a white supremacist plot to devastate black communities with the virus.
"We were at war," Jones tells Brugger in the film. "Black people in South Africa were the enemy."
LOL no kidding.There is no evidence of the plot to spread HIV being successfully put into action.
