From the liner notes

Queen Latifah, in the best performance of her career, plays Ana Wallace, a former drug addict who becomes an AIDS activist and role model in the black community.

Review

Determined to make a difference with her life, the slowly dying Ana Wallace risks her health to teach courses for a local HIV outreach group. At home, she is also struggling to hold together her ailing relationship with her daughter, which is torn apart by the aftermath of Ana’s former crack habit. Festival favorite Jim McKay returns with yet another powerful screenplay about an inner city world that’s a brutally beautiful mixture of races, classes and attitudes. This time he places Ana’s character in the center of it all and surrounds her with tiny, poignant details that add up to create a richly drawn universe. Latifa’s portrayal is spot-on, with an unflinching willpower that is riveting, real and sympathy-inspiring. As Life Support begins to draw to a close, it just might affect the way that you look at the world around you.
