December 1 is Worlds AIDS Day, an opportunity for people worldwide to unite in the fight against HIV/AIDS, show their support for people living with the disease and to commemorate people who have died.
These 16 films represent some of the most interesting, complex and moving cinematic portrayals of the epidemic. Some are groundbreaking, others are award-winning but all are essential to understanding the impact HIV and AIDS has had on our society.
