laSexta has premiered the trailer for Sidosa, the documentary in which the actor and filmmaker Eduardo Casanova reveals for the first time that he lives with HIV, breaking years of silence to combat the social stigma associated with the virus. The production, led by Jordi Évole and produced by Atresmedia in collaboration with Producciones del Barrio, will premiere in cinemas on April 23 and will subsequently be broadcast on the channel.
The film's trailer, which will be officially presented on March 10 at the 29th Málaga Film Festival, shows Casanova's personal journey with humor, emotion, and memory. Directed by Lluís Galter and Màrius Sánchez, Sidosa takes its name from a reivindicative recovery of the term to challenge prejudices and promote a broader conversation about the reality of people with HIV.
Casanova is already one of the best-known figures in Spain to speak publicly about his diagnosis, a decision that organizations and activists have been demanding for years to raise awareness and normalize living with the virus.
