This feels too much like the late 80s/early 90s

Independent Lens documentary Wilhemina’s War [55m30s]: AIDS is one of the leading causes of death for black women in the rural South, where living with HIV is a grim reality. In Wilhemina’s War, Wilhemina Dixon, her daughter Toni, granddaughter Dayshal, and her 92 year-old mother, all the descendants of sharecroppers, live in South Carolina. Wilhemina cares for Dayshal, 19, who was born with HIV.
Seriously, seriously enraging.
The director set up a gofundme page for Dayshal.

Powerful, and, yes, enraging stuff.
Nikki Haley has a lot of deaths on her hands due to her own lack of action. Right now, after viewing that doc, I can't think of a better example of today's Republican party.
