The Film | Synopsis

William Brawner was infected with HIV before he turned two and kept it a secret for over twenty years. Now he seeks redemption from the women of his promiscuous past and embarks on a new phase of life with his wife, who is HIV-negative. 25 TO LIFE presents a new look at the changing landscape of HIV and AIDS in this country. It tackles the tough social issues of sex, race, and manhood, while providing unprecedented access into a life and a family LIVING with the AIDS virus.
