Skype Q & A

The winner of the Jury Prize and the Audience Award at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, Blood Brother is a document of a man’s journey to finding his true purpose. Filmmaker Steve Hoover’s childhood friend, Rocky, had always been an aimless man child until his travels brought him to India. While there, he found himself in a group of camps created to house women and children living with HIV, and he did everything he could to help. After Rocky’s visa expired and he returned to the US, Steve reconnected with his best friend and decided to accompany him back to India with his camera. Blood Brother is an account of the impact Rocky’s presence has on the inhabitants of this camp, where residents face the specter of death every day, but still thrive because of the binding influence of love and family. Heartfelt and real, Blood Brother is an emotional portrait of a man on a mission who has finally found his true calling in life.
