A post shared by CINE RÍO (@cine_rio)Based off a now-famous magazine profile, Dallas Buyers Club came along in 2013 to tell the real-life story of Ron Woodroof (portrayed by Matthew McConaughey), a newly-diagnosed Texan AIDS patient existing in the 80s – a time where treatments were wildly under-researched.McConaughey's portrayal of Woodroof sees him transform from a ostracised lost soul to someone willing to take on the Food and Drug Administration's careless, profit-focused regulations in order to allow fellow patients a better quality of life.Dallas Buyers Club arrived at a time where it felt as though there was a pertinent lapse in AIDS-awareness in visual media.
