    Eye opening
    I watched this and was shocked at how brothers, sons were treaded in the 80's and 90's for being ill.

    The writing and screen play was brilliant. This can be a little graphic, but that paints a picture. Doesn't matter what you believe or think, everyone deserves love.

    This is the type of thing we should have seen at school rather than Philadelphia. Time to accept and love one another.
