    Heartwarming and scary at the same time

    Queen Latifah is one of my favourite actresses and when I saw this movie with her in it Ibookmarked it to watch. It really is a shock tactics film, the storyline is very sad, heartwarming and scary at the same time. You feel for her and her family and yet you are shocked at the characters within the film. Its a film which really hits home the impact of AIDS & HIV and is an eye opener at the destruction it can have on lives.
