Positive Youth
Border2Border EntertainmentActor Charlie David (Judas Kiss, Mulligans) goes behind the camera to make this inspiring documentary on youths living with HIV. In 1981, the disease was initially fatal, but today, while there is still no cure, advances in science and medicine can now keep the disease in check. David focuses on the lives of four very different HIV+ individuals: a straight 18-year-old First Nations woman living in an impoverished rural town; a gay 25-year-old white urbanite; a spiritual 23-year-old African American; and a 27-year-old club kid jet-setter. Each of them offers a dynamic perspective on the reality of living positive and shows how even a single person can change the world regardless of his or her environment.
