Dallas Buyers Club hits Phl cinemas

MANILA, Philippines - An imperfect man fights for survival during an uncertain time in America. Inspired by true events, Ron Woodroof’s story of strength is told in Dallas Buyers Club. Academy Award winner Matthew McConaughey plays Ron Woodroof, an electrician and rodeo cowboy. He lives a devil-may-care lifestyle. Suddenly, he finds himself diagnosed as H.I.V.-positive and given 30 days to live. Yet he will not, and does not, accept a death sentence.

His crash course of research reveals a lack of approved treatments and medications in the U.S., so Ron crosses the border into Mexico. There, he learns about alternative treatments and begins smuggling them into the US, challenging the medical and scientific community, including his concerned physician, Dr. Eve Saks (Jennifer Garner).

An outsider to the gay community, Ron finds an unlikely ally in fellow AIDS patient Rayon (Academy Award winner Jared Leto), a transsexual who shares Ron’s lust for life. Deep in the heart of Texas, Ron’s pioneering underground collective beats loud and strong. With a growing community of friends and clients, Ron fights for dignity, education and acceptance. In the years following his diagnosis, he lives life to the fullest like never before.

Dallas Buyers Club is released and distributed by Captive Cinema.
