First saw this in the states about 25 years ago. I cannot think of a better TV movie. Incredibly powerful, maddeningly frustrating and very tearful. If you don't shed a tear at the final montage with a song from Elton John then you have no pulse. The cast is about as good as you can get, the charting of the history of AIDS, both medical and political is heart-breaking accurate, and overall, hopefully this will leave you with a bitter taste in your mouth. A fantastic staged documentary.
