5.0 out of 5 stars PANDEMIC - A global look at AIDS, March 9, 2004

Rory Kennedy has done an outstanding job depicting the human face of AIDS in some of the world's most severely afflicted countries. You cannot come away from this film without an added awareness of the scope of this disease and the lives affected by it. It is not, however, a horribly depressing film. While Kennedy has painted a very real picture, she also focuses on the successes now possible with effective prevention, testing, and treatment. Human tenaciousness is alive in every segment and the film balances hope and despair beautifully. I found it riveting and moving - made all the more haunting by Philip Glass's music. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars If it wasn't for this film, December 1, 2003

We would still have our heads in the sand about this epidemic. We learn how some people became victims, what their familiies thought, who it affected besides themselves, how the world views AIDS. It is really an eye-opener and you will not be able to walk away without your sensitivity to the situation being heightened. The viewer will learn a lot about world history and be faced with a reality that is far from the common.

This documentary is defintely well worth it. an Eye-Opener in every sense of the word and with the combination of Philip Glass's once again beautiful score writing and facts about the virus, one is not cannot walk away unmoved.
