File is an audio reel containing an interview with Phil Shaw of the AIDS Committee of Toronto on Patient Zero (Gaetan Dugas), a Quebec man thought to be the first case of AIDS in the United States. He discusses the fear generated by the fact that Patient Zero lived in Toronto, and Dartmouth from 1977-1979, and journalist Randy Shilts' book claiming that Patient Zero was solely responsible for the spread of AIDS in North America. The interview was conducted by CKDU's Donna Mayer. The episode was recorded on October 15, 1987.
