On the 25th anniversary of the first diagnosed cases of AIDS, FRONTLINE examines one of the worst pandemics the world has ever known in The Age of AIDS, airing Tuesday and Wednesday, May 30 and 31, from 9 to 11 pm ET on PBS (check local listings). After a quarter-century of political denial and social stigma, of stunning scientific breakthroughs, bitter policy battles and inadequate prevention campaigns, HIV/AIDS continues to spread rapidly throughout much of the world. Through interviews with AIDS researchers, world leaders, activists, and patients, FRONTLINE investigates the science, politics, and human cost of this fateful disease and asks: What are the lessons of the past, and what can be done to stop AIDS?

I thought that AIDS documentary was great. It was somewhat lengthy, but it was helpful to have it broken down into sections, and in a way it really takes a good amount of time to encompass the history of the disease. Each section started out by zooming into a city that would be the subject topic, so you are able to see how each part of the world was impacted by the disease. The fact that it went through the past 25 years was incredibly enlightening to me because I have not lived through it all. What I did know about AIDS was limited to my small sphere in the United States and from various reports I’ve read regarding the African continent, but Frontline connected outbreaks from Asia, the Middle East, and South America, which I really appreciated. The broadcast was both helpful and interesting.
