EXCELLENT!!!! submitted by Stephen Sarbaugh on March 16, 2015, 7:32pm After waiting almost three months for this film, it was well worth the wait. The story is so sad, but yet an important one to be told. It makes one wonder how many lives might have been saved if the federal government had taken a interest in this awful epidemic. Checking to see who had won Emmy's the year this movie was released, I was not surprised to see all of the main cast there. The only real thing that I can say, is make sure that you have kleenex next to you, especially for the last hour.
