Waiting . . .

Abstract:
This video stands as one of the most unique educational videos available today because it was written, produced, and performed entirely by middle and high school students. Even the musicians commissioned to compose the score and the caterer were under 17 years old. The film, a TV movie quality drama, tells the story of Michelle, a teenager who becomes sexually involved with her first boyfriend, Frankie. After they have had unprotected sex, and Frankie has moved back to New York with his family, Michelle learns that Frankie has AIDS. She now must explain things to her current boyfriend, whom she told she was a virgin, and her best friend, as she waits for the results of her HIV antibody blood test. The film is very engaging, presented with the highest quality acting and production, and offers concrete, usable information to the audience. An exceptional film for young people.
