'Tainted' is a gripping tale that delves into the devastating true events of the Canadian Blood Disaster, exploring a mother’s courageous battle to save her son’s life. Set in the late 1980s, the story follows Leslie, a loving and resilient mother, and her young son, Jarad, who has been diagnosed with a rare medical condition. Entrusting the healthcare system to help her son, Leslie’s world is shattered when she learns his illness is due to contaminated blood supplied by the hospital...and he’s not the only one.  As the ominous shadow of the tainted blood scandal looms over Canada, Leslie finds herself thrust into a heart-wrenching fight against time, bureaucracy, and corporate cover-ups. With every passing day, Jarad’s health deteriorates, and Leslie becomes increasingly determined to unearth the truth behind the tragedy that has befallen her family and countless others.  Driven by an unwavering love for her son, Leslie joins forces with other affected families and activists, navigating a treacherous landscape of political corruption and medical negligence. As the scandal’s scale becomes apparent, Leslie must summon her inner strength to confront the powerful institutions responsible for the catastrophic human loss.  'Tainted' is a poignant tale of maternal love, resilience, and the pursuit of justice in the face of insurmountable odds. While it is about the Canadian national health tragedy, this story is a clarain call to anywhere bureaucrats decide how taxpayer dollars will be spent at the expense of public health and safety. It’s an inside look at backroom government failures and cover-ups, shedding light on the harrowing real-life consequences.  This hauntingly powerful narrative serves as a stark reminder of the importance of accountability and the indomitable power of a mother’s love.
