The Broadcast Tapes of Dr. Peter

Canada (1993): Documentary

In 1990, Dr. Peter Jepson-Young learned that he had AIDS. Believing that "there's no logical end point to education," he began taping a series of two-minute "video diaries" that documented the continuing fullness of his life and offered insights -- from the perspectives of both patient and doctor -- into what it was like to have AIDS. This film condenses the 111 video diary episodes and presents an honest and immensely moving record that not only gives AIDS a human face, but profoundly demonstrates the strength of the human spirit.
