REVIEWED By Marjorie Baumgarten, Thu., Jan. 11, 2001
This hit from last year's Austin Gay & Lesbian International Film Festival takes as its subject 10 teenagers with HIV who come together for a rafting trip down the Salmon River in Colorado. Many of them have had the virus since birth, and although they have little else in common, an instantaneous and powerful bond is created. This inspirational film from the makers of HBO's Rock the Boat takes viewers on a journey that is both emotional and physical.
