| When it premiered in 1991, Peter Adair`s now critically-acclaimed documentary ABSOLUTELY POSITIVE became the first film to humanize the face of AIDS. HIV-positive himself, Adair selected 11 individuals--ranging in age from 17 to 60 and representing a wide variety of races, backgrounds, and lifestyles--to share their experiences with AIDS in front of the camera. From Johnnie, a young gay Asian-American man, to Doris, the African-American mother of a 6-month-old, the subjects` honesty, wit, and humor make this film a moving, life-affirming testament to living with disease. And with an estimated 42 million people infected worldwide, knowledge and understanding of HIV/AIDS has never been more relevant. |
