The True Story of Lorraine Cibilic
Her Miraculous Fight for Dignity & Justice
They breed them tough on Queensland's Atherton Tablelands and Lorraine Cibilic needed every ounce of that strength to achieve the unthinkable. Beginning her fight in the face of untold tragedy, she strove for the dignity and justice of the nation's 430 medically acquired HIV sufferers. These were the unfortunate souls administered death sentences by the system.
Lorraine Cibilic fought discrimination and threats, taking on Australia's politicians and the legal system. Throughout a torrid 13 years, this simple housewife, as she called herself, had to battle the torture of AIDS. But the disease was dealing with no ordinary woman. Her foes were destined to surrender; a tenacious victory, even recognised by the Prime Minister.
