Film
Robert Richardson, a father of three, spent nearly nine years in prison due to Missouri's HIV criminalization laws. Since being put in place in 1988, these laws have seen few revisions and none of them addresses modern scientific understanding of prevention, transmission and treatment of HIV. Green Cheese Moon chronicles Richardson’s fight to change the outdated laws and end the stigma they perpetuate.
