For those who don't know or don't remember where the most damaging health crisis in the history of Canada comes from, this is a must see series.

A family member was part of a team dealing with people infected by blood products and transfusions and has told me the series just glances over some of the most egregious aspects of this crisis. Watch it and wonder... why?
