In the Blood

In the Blood recounts the gripping true story of inventor Frank Hursey and salesman Bart Gullong, who, amid the tragic aftermath of the 1993 Battle of Mogadishu, developed QuikClot, a revolutionary product with blood-clotting properties. Despite its life-saving potential, they faced fierce opposition from the Army, which favored its own costly and dangerous treatment, Factor Seven. Over six years, Hursey and Gullong battled for recognition and faced the corrupt entanglements of military and pharmaceutical interests, culminating in a high-stakes lawsuit that revealed the serious implications of their struggle. This compelling narrative explores themes of corruption, bravery, and the fight for truth against institutional arrogance.
