Trailer

Why watch this film?

This is an independent film with a great cast, including names like Cory Michael Smith (The Riddler from the 'Gotham' series), Virginia Madsen (Oscar-nominated for 'Sideways'), Michael Chiklis (Golden Globe winner for 'The Shield') and Jamie Chung (from 'The Gifted'), with a touching story - about the first generation of HIV infected people who were forced to deal with their conservative families while suffering from a disease, AIDS, which at the time was practically a death sentence. Thus, the feature film explores human pain and society's prejudices. With beautiful black and white photography and an indie feel, it certainly isn't a movie for all audiences - even though it is a necessary message in a society that is still learning to accept the other.
