n the Spring of 1988, videomaker/activist
Gregg Bordowitz tested HIV-positive, quit
drugs and drinking, and came out to his par
ents. Then, a good friend was diagnosed with breast cancer, and Bordowitz's grandparents were killed im an automobile accident. The
cumulative impact of all these events chal
lenged his sense of identity, the way he under stood his own diagnosis and the relationship between illness and history. Anything but solemn, this imaginative, activist autobiography is a kaleidoscopic blast of visu-

al stimulation, intellectual irreverence and emotional confrontation. Painful and
difficult subjects are treated with humor and compassion. Everything is questioned... Bordowitz embraces all of this within a per sonal vision that is playful, passionate, angry, smart and sassy (with some klezmer music thrown in to top it all off). Ultimately he has given us a courageous work of art.
