1990, 23:00 minutes, English

TAPECODE 9617

This work offers messages of hope for people who have been diagnosed HIV positive or have developed AIDS. A wide variety of people with the virus are interviewed for their views on coping with diagnosis, living with the virus, and finding support among friends, family, and organizations. With frank discussion that is at times warm, lively or humourous, they speak of shock, loneliness, fear, prejudice, sex and optimism. The testimonials are intercut with actors and mime artists who visually interpret emotions of the issue.
