There's an AIDS documentary on PBS right now and I remembered this movie. The one scene that I really remember is the dad explaining the spirit and body using a glove when the son is told he will die.
Plot synopsis: A little boy with hemophilia needs a blood transfusion and contracts HIV. Of course ends up dying a horrible death from the complications of AIDS. It's based on an autobiography by Chris Oyler.
I wonder what happened to that family. If I remember correctly, Rock Hudson's death and Ryan White's contraction of HIV is what finally pressured the government into researching HIV treatment.
Thoughts? Memories?
