Fascinating look at the very beginning of the AIDS epidemic. Had this horrific disease been offing nuns and small children you can bet your bottom dollar Reagan would have stepped in and done something. Since however gay men were dying in droves from HIV and AIDS, Reagan was silent. In fact Reagan didn't even mention the word AIDS until 25,000 Americans had passed away. Disgraceful!
A excellent made for TV movie based off the book, features an all star cast with a great story about the beginning of the AIDS crisis. Though it is sad to watch at times the performances keep you glued to your seat. A must see!!!!!!!
This was a great movie. Shows how people in high places in our goverment dont give a shit about what happens to gay community. Not till it hits the straight community
While very long, is very emotionally moving. At the same time you cannot help but feel angry at the medical communities or the Governments lack of foresight in recognizing the urgency of the AIDS crisis. Brilliantly acted, and even tho it is extremely long, completely worth the watch.
Very powerful docudrama with excellent cast. Whatever your feelings on the AIDS epidemic this is an unfliching look at the failure of the government in the early days of AIDS crisis.
This is still the saddest movie I have ever seen in my life. I've seen it a thousand times and I cry through the credits every time. If you really need a good cry, this is your movie.
Brilliant movie!!! It's about how AIDS first came about in America and it really shows how far we've all come since then when it comes to disease control. It's definitely a must-see movie! You can't help but feel for the victims and empathize with the guys from CDC.
Have seen this so many times and it still makes me cry. Every person should see this movie and not take away from the message it is trying to convey without preconceptions or prejudices.
Once again five stars! Awesome cast and story line. This movie was informative of history of HIV/AIDS. I loved how this movie shows the paranoia of how this deadly virus was thought to have been spread and debunks all of the rumors. I was however disappointed to learn the healthcare was cut drastically by a former president(watch and find out by whom) especially when he knew that there was a possible epidemic during his term. I loved the sensitivity this movie showed toward men and women who were suffering and died of the most deadly virus known to mankind.
