Aidan Quinn

stars as a gay lawyer diagnosed with AIDS in this pioneering made-for-television drama, which stirred up controversy in 1985 as the first major film to deal with the newly emerging virus. Extras include the bonus short "Living with AIDS," a moving portrait of San Franciscan AIDS victim Todd Coleman;

"Living with AIDS" was one of the first films about the disease to be nationally broadcast on public television.
3.5 stars. A little slow in some spots but a heart-wrenching story too. Not all of it felt real or true but we did like how they dealt with the family and how they came around. The Living with AIDS film was powerful and eye opening! I recommend renting the show just for that film.
