Q regular Charlie David (Mulligans, Dante’s Cove) makes his directorial debut as he follows four HIV+ positive youth in four different cities. Growing up in the 1980s and 90s we were hammered with terrifying statistics of HIV/AIDS. Thirty years in, we are still learning. What education do youth receive now and why is the youth transmission rate still the highest? We shared retrospective documentaries on the AIDS crisis featuring interviews with survivors but what about the positive youth of today? For the first time, young people open their homes and hearts, offering no-holds-barred access into their lives.
