And the Band Played On (1993)


HBO is running it on demand. I forgot the beginning is an Ebola outbreak. "Everything old is new again"

Such a great film. We still average 50,000 new Aids cases a year in the US.

The story of the discovery of the AIDS epidemic and the political infighting of the scientific community hampering the early fight with it.

Goodnight.
