And The Band Played On
1993, 140 minutes, Rated PG
After six years of controversy and furious debate, Randy Shilts' best selling book, And The Band Played On, has finally made it to the screen. This powerful and condemning true story about a world epidemic which for years officials refused to acknowledge, will anger, shock and ultimately move you as on other film has before. Featuring an incredible cast starring Matthew Modine and including Alan Alda, Phil Collins, Richard Gere, Anjelica Huston, Steve Martin, Ian McKellen and Lily Tomlin, And The Band Played On exposes the deadly roll that inaction and in-fighting amongst Government officials, blood banks, the scientific community and the general public played in assisting the spread of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome.
