Summary:

"[Essayist and filmmaker Richard Fung's] personal documentary on living close to illness. Using old home movie footage from the '50s shot in Trinidad, England, and Canada, he traces his family's encounter with thalassemia ("sea in the blood" in Greek), a blood disease considered rare in Asians at the time. Sea in the blood seamlessly meshes this history with a trip Fung takes in 1977 from Europe to India during which he meets his partner, Tim. The death of his sister, Nan, from thalassemia occurred while he was away. The filmmaker examines his feelings about this loss and places it within the context of his partner Tim's life with HIV/AIDS"--Container.
