HIV is not a crime.
<p>When the local District Attorney comes knocking, a Texan cop is forced to face a secret that he's been hiding from his wife in an effort to keep his family together.</p> <p>"Inside the Box" is more than a short film. It will serve as a teaser for David's next project, the feature film "A Texas Story," which we are very excited to report has made it to the final round of the Sundance Screenwriters Lab.<br /> Both the short and the feature deal with HIV criminalization. Many laws that are currently being enforced in dozens of U.S. states and in several countries around the world are rooted in nothing but ignorance and have put many innocent people in jail.<br /> David Martín-Porras is the writer-director of this short film.</p>
