ALT__TITLE

DISABILITY AIDS

COUNTRY USA

LENGTH 100

GENRE Drama

DIRECTOR Glenn Jordan

CAST John Lithgow

Ellen Burstyn

Annette O'Toole

NOTES Lithgow plays twins again (he did so in Raising Cain). One

twin who is a well-liked schoolteacher has AIDS. At first he

faces hostility from a section of the community but then the

locals rally round him.

He then goes to court to get an insurance company to fund a

bone marrow transplant. I'm not clear why this is.
