EDITORIAL REVIEWS | Amazon.com Produced just as a new wave of drugs was going to clinical trials, Positive--Life with HIV is a wide-ranging look at life with the still deadly virus. The four programs ("Community," "Care," "Identity," and "Fighting for Our Lives") are anything but depressing, though. They foreshadow the imminent pharmaceutical help the subjects would soon receive. First-person narrative, performance, and animation all fit together into a mosaic of alternative views of living with HIV. Sick people and long-term survivors, men and women, gay and straight, all have different stories but are all united in their struggle for survival. Positive--Life with HIV is an important document chronicling a turning point in a devastating epidemic and sifts hope from a culture of despair. --Rob Lightner |
