| Every Time...
Irrelevant of your background, educational standing, fiscal reality, or any other factor... If this riveting documentary does not move you each and every time you view it, something has not gotten through. I teach college -- Anatomy and Physiology, Pathophysiology, Micro -- This film is shown in every single one of my courses. I could sit and praise the work, but it will do no good if you don't view it. Please do!

| Powerful, well done
The book was super. This is good, and managed to reflect some of the power of the book ... the rise of AIDS and the greed and egos that kept the world from handling HIV in time. Great acting (well, great actors too), great moments from the book. The total lack of funding and recognition during the whole time when HIV might have been contained, The slaughter of the hemophiliacs, the cost of the battle over discovery of the HIV virus ... and the battles continue today so sadly the movie is not outdated that much...
