This is a well-made film about a brave young lady who, like so many others, battled against the most dangerous disease this planet has probably ever known. Alison Gertz, her friends and family tried to educate young people and still do (although Alison is no longer here). Molly Ringwald (obviously unknown in Slovenia judging by the bottom comment) gives a solid performance whilst Landau and Grant do what's required.
It shows how people can struggle to come to terms with disease and how rationality is thrown out of the window and fear takes over when talking to a person who has contracted HIV/AIDS.
It's a TV movie but one that is worth a look
