Ruins: A Chronicle of a Witch-Hunt by Zoe Mavroudi is a documentary about a group of HIV-positive women who were detained by the Greek Police, forcibly tested, charged with a felony, imprisoned and publicly exposed, when their mug shots and personal data were published in the media, in the run-up to the country's 2012 national elections.
 
Queer@King's, an AHRI Research Centre at King's College, screened Mavroudi's documentary to the general public on 12 November 2013. The screening was followed by this filmed Q&A with the director, Zoe Mavroudi, KCL's Hector Kollias and Toni Mac from the Sex Worker Open University collective, during which the participants responded to an array of questions from the audience, including the current state of Greek politics, sexism, HIV discrimination, and the import of making and disseminating of this kind of film.
