With MY POSITIVE LIFE, Mark Strombach and Salwa Amin give a voice and face to people who have been living with HIV/AIDS for decades, in the first ever film on the subject. Six men and one woman aged between 60 and 72 each tell their own stories: underlying them is the common tale of a long life with the HI-virus.
