It was directed by Lance Bangs, and executive produced by Spike Jonze.
The 30 minute film tracks several people who were seriously ill but return to a healthier condition in a relatively short period of time after starting Antiretroviral drug therapy.
The film has been reviewed by at least two nationally known critics, with Tom Freston of Vanity Fair calling it "a remarkable and remarkably uplifting HBO documentary" and Noel Murray of A.V. Club saying that the film is a "straight-up advocacy doc, designed to get anyone who watches it to open their wallets. And it’s remarkably effective at that."
