If a disease showed up that killed 100% of ordinary people,
no expense would have been spared or measure left undone.
Sometime in the 80's measures and research should have been done to stop this disease.
If the disease wasn't associated with homosexuals and IV drug users,
measures like those for Syphilis would have been put in place at the earliest moment.
As a result of this disease millions have and will in the future die
and world wide, the epidemic still rages pretty much unchecked.
The medical community and the CDC failed to do
what they were supposed to do
for a contagious disease.
History will look back and call this the dark ages of medical science.

Monkey See. Monkey Do. Monkey Dies.
Added 1/8/2010
Getting the HIV-AIDs message out was as difficult with Gay Men and Lesbians as it was to the majority of the Straight populase. This was the first TV Movie that was based upon the outbreak of HIV-AIDs. HBO really did a public service by making, then showing a story that brought the subject matter into the living rooms of America.
The storyline is acted by total professionals who deliver dynamite performances. The entire production was handled perfectly.
Details of the story are available through the "Editorial Reviews," on this page (scroll up).
If you are looking for a light entertaining diversion, this is NOT the case here. This is factual, reality based scripting and played for a strong warning to audiences, regardless of their sexual orientation.
The only other film (of this specific genre) I consider this film's equal is: "Longtime Companion."
Watch them both...

The movie I purchased was called "And the band played on" and it was shipped very fast. The product was new as said on the description and it was not one of the burnt copies of the orginal movie.

Tragedy and Politics
Added 12/10/2009
Aside from a wonderful presentation of the tragedy that is AIDS, it gives a chilling depiction of the politics attendant upon the health care policies of the nation. Evidently, the fact is that no matter how many people die, the bottom line (money and greed) are paramount in this country. Does this resonate today (2009)?

Added 11/16/2009
This movie is the best investment I have ever made I didn't expect this movie to be so good.... This movie will have you in tears because it gives full details of how AIDS was out of control before we accually knew what it was that was killing people.
