Thirty Eulogies

The story of haemophiliac Suresh Vaghela who delivered eulogies to 30 gay men at the height of the Aids crisis.

The story of how a heterosexual, Indian immigrant to England, ignorant of the gay scene, ended up delivering heartfelt eulogies to 30 homosexual men at the height of the AIDS crisis.

The experiences of Suresh Vaghela take us behind the headlines of the infected blood scandal and into a transformative relationship between a hemophiliac and the people who he came to regard as his new family.
