This four hour long program is the best documentary on living with AIDS/HIV that I have ever seen. It is poignant, moving, funny, striking, uplifting and memorable. The documentary combines interviews, skits, animation, music, songs, poems, and dance by/for/about people living with HIV/AIDS.
Positive: Life with HIV doesn't fall into the usual traps of such documentaries. It neither become too clinical nor too sentimental and is never boring. There are interviews with gay men, straight men, children, parents, lesbians, straight women, wives, husbands, doctors, nurses, health care providers, spiritual leaders, and more.
The four sections of the program are each an hour long: Identity, Community, Care, and Fighting for Our Lives. Each segment is interesting and watchable. This program is appropriate for and effective for people of any age and any walk of life.
"Educational, entertaining, and informative" are cliches for documentaries, but this one is all of that and much much more.
