Audience Member Personal insights into the D.C. AIDS population. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member A very good look at the people on the ground dealing with the HIV/AIDS crisis in Washington, DC. It succeeds the most on an emotional level, but the film gives us little in the way of concrete facts that would allow the film to give its message greater weight. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member fiy difoglgfudysxcefrgyu[p[kliitrtkgi4yjeyv35the3lgr freqefFHHFRFA tfyffffffcxxxxxxewtf54loo657879i5 yrey Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Well, never could imagine this would happen in this country, ESP in the capital of the strongest country in the world. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member A difficult film to watch, but a rare, critical glimpse into the lives of people who are struggling to find love, meaning and acceptance against a relentless tide of stigma, intolerance and willful ignorance. Hopefully it will open a few new eyes to the reality that HIV/AIDS is far from over in the United States. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Read all reviews
