Brotherly Love

OK. Before we post anything, we should begin the day by saying that we were well aware that yesterday was World AIDS Day all day, but we had something special planned that fell through at the 11th hour, more's the pity. However, it really should be World AIDS Day every day, don't you think? And it must still be yesterday somewhere in the world, what with all those wacky time zones.

That said, we have this gorgeous, poignant clip today from tonight's Movies That Shook the World, the WOW series airing on AMC. The episode concerns Philadelphia, Jonathan Demme's groundbreaking AIDS drama, and was beautifully produced by Jim Eckels and narrated by Jeff Goldblum. Supervising producer of the entire series was Gabriel Rotello, author of the acclaimed book, Sexual Ecology: AIDS and the Destiny of Gay Men. We just looked at the clip again and, short as it is, we got goosebumps. Again. (Watch here)
