Positive

TV

Set in 1991 and based on the real-life experiences of writer Michelle Fiordaliso, Positive is a 30-minute TV pilot about Julia Magliano, a young social worker driven to fight AIDS in a NYC hospital while fighting her own battle with bisexual feelings and a crisis of faith.

Books like The Great Believers and plays likeTony-nominated Inheritance confirm the need for the narrative legacy of this critical time in history. As we currently find ourselves in a pandemic, there are also important political and activist parallels that can be drawn.

Positive tells the story of AIDS from an angle we haven’t seen before — the frontline workers — the ones who chose to be there.
