PBS Premiere: June 18, 1991
Synopsis
The nice thing about having a serious disease is that it's okay to say anything you want, and people put up with it. The narrator/filmmaker is Peter Adair (Word is Out) and the disease is the HIV virus. Adair has asked 11 people — women and men, gay and straight, from all walks of life — to share their stories. Alternately irreverent, candid and soulful, this stirring film is not about being sick; it is about being true to the emotional complexity of being mortal.

Critical Acclaim
Timely, trenchant, intelligent... frequently moving and occasionally even funny. These stories are deeply felt, direct and compelling, and so is this film.”
