    Can't watch it, but definitely looking it up once it comes out in some other way.

    I watched it this past weekend. It was very moving. They profiled a number of couples who have been together for decades. The film put a very human face on LGBT people, showing how our lives are no different than those of straight people. If you get a chance, it is well worth the time to watch it.

    Upon discovering that I missed it, I've been scouring the Internet trying to find when it will be on again, or better yet a link to watch it, but to no avail. Not even PBS.org has any information, just the trailer posted above. :frowning2: It's bound to be on again though. Check local listings for your area, since PBS affiliates all run at different times.

    I watched it last night; very good. The most intense part for me was the discussion of what it was like at the beginning of AIDS. I have a friend in his late 50s that somehow managed to survive. I can't imagine what it was like.

    Did anyone see the recent PBS documentary on Stonewall? That was amazing. A must see.
