It keeps playing...

And the Band Played On is a good movie, if not one that I would usually watch. I had to watch this for a Sociology class I was taking, but reflecting on it I did enjoy the movie. It was a good take on the struggles of the homosexual community in the beginning of the AIDS epidemic. It was a good movie I would have never considered.

Excelent movie.
For everyone, but especially for people interested in Public Health field. It is a piece of the history of AIDS, the discovery of the disease, the virus and how reserachers have to deal whith politics to make decitions.
I strongly recomended.

And The Band Played On

Excellent movie concerning the United States initial reaction to the AIDs epidemic in the 1980s. I was very surprised at the number of well known actors (Alan Alda, Lilly Tomlin, Peter O' Toole) who starred in this film.
