Cheers to HBO!, 30 March 2000
7/10
Author: fubared1 from Boston, Ma

Wonderful story about a group HIV positive men involved in a race to Hawaii by sail. They are all truly 'survivors'. The film shows their quest with a refreshingly unsentimental honestly (except, sorry, for the guy who sounded like a NYC cabby blubbering about 2 lost lovers). My own quibble would be, why did it have to be shot on videotape? Expense? I suppose, but it's too bad it couldn't have been shot on film. Cheers to HBO Signature for airing it, even if it was at a time when no one would see it. Do like I did and set your VCR if it should come on again!
