Timeline

1966

Kelly Duda (born June 6, 1966 in Little Rock) is an American filmmaker and activist from Arkansas best known for the 2005 documentary, Factor 8: The Arkansas Prison Blood Scandal.

Duda has worked on several documentary projects.

Duda contributed to the Fuji Television documentary, The Hepatitis C Epidemic: A 15-Year Government Cover-up.

1970

Factor 8: The Arkansas Prison Blood Scandal is a feature-length documentary, which alleges that in the 1970s and 1980s, the Arkansas prison system profited from selling blood plasma from inmates infected with viral hepatitis and HIV.

The documentary contends that thousands of victims who received transfusions of a blood product derived from these plasma products, Factor VIII, died as a result.

Duda experienced negative responses in Arkansas as a result of his investigation, including claims of death threats, his tires being slashed, break-ins, and files being stolen.

The premiere of the film was delayed due to a legal dispute about the film's ownership.

1981

Kaestel was serving a life sentence for robbing a taco hut of $265 with a water pistol in Fort Smith, Arkansas, in 1981.

After serving 40 years, Kaestel was freed when Governor Asa Hutchinson commuted his sentence.

2003

The program won a Peabody Award in 2003 and was reportedly watched by more than 12 million viewers in Japan.

Duda received special thanks for Robert Greenwald's documentary Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price.

2007

As a result of the documentary, on July 11, 2007, Duda testified at the Lord Archer Inquiry on Contaminated Blood in the Parliament of the United Kingdom overseen by Peter Archer, Baron Archer of Sandwell.

The British inquiry aimed to investigate the British government's culpability in the National Health Service's use of tainted blood.

Duda gave evidence as to the United States' role in the events.

On September 20, 2007, Kelly Duda traveled to Jena, Louisiana with students from the University of Central Arkansas to participate in the Jena 6 march for justice, along with Martin Luther King III.

Kelly Duda was co-founder, along with Lanette Grate, and president of the short-lived West Memphis Three Injustice Project.

Originally named the West Memphis Three Innocence Project, the 501(c)(3) organization, was renamed after a cease and desist order for unauthorized and illegal use of the Innocence Project's name.

The mission of the West Memphis Three Injustice Project was to help exonerate Arkansas prisoners Jason Baldwin, Jessie Misskelley and Damien Echols, otherwise known as the West Memphis Three.

2012

In 2012, Kelly accompanied actor and activist George Takei to the Rohwer War Relocation Center site and cemetery, marking the 70th anniversary of Executive Order 9066.

2014

He was also a photographer on the 2014 documentary To Be Takei.

2015

In 2015, Duda wrote an editorial and spoke at a committee hearing on ending Robert E. Lee Day as a state holiday in Arkansas, which at the time was celebrated on Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

After two separate bills were drafted to end the holiday, the proposed law failed four times to make it out of the Republican controlled committee.

2016

In December 2016, Duda supported a resolution from the City of Little Rock urging lawmakers to eliminate Lee Day as a holiday in favor of MLK Day.

2017

On December 4, 2017, Duda testified in a criminal trial in Naples, Italy against Duilio Poggiolini, and 10 representatives of the Marcucci Group, who have been charged with manslaughter for supplying blood products (including factor 8) to Italian patients, including hemophiliacs.

2,605 Italians have been infected with HIV and hepatitis from contaminated blood products.

Duda wrote an opinion piece on the matter in 2017, and later that year SB519 eliminated Lee Day as a state holiday, instead establishing a memorial day for Lee in October by gubernatorial proclamation and allowing MLK Day, the federal holiday to stand on its own.

In 2021, Duda launched a public campaign to free Rolf Kaestel, an inmate whistleblower who appeared in Duda's "Factor 8".
