In 1990, Dr. Peter Jepson-Young learned he had AIDS. Believing that "there's no logical end point to education," he began taping a series of two-minute "video diaries" that documented the continuing fullness of his life and offered insights ? from the perspectives of both patient and doctor, into what it was like to have AIDS. Initially youthful and fit, Dr. Peter chronicles a series of afflictions that, though they cost him his sight, his looks and his energy, never diminished his ability to embrace life. With disarming candor and humor, he discusses not only his condition, but also the many issues of spirituality, personal history and family relations. THE BROADCAST TAPES condenses the 111 video diary episodes into "a single hour of stunning purity." Without sentimentalizing or dramatizing his experiences, the film presents and honest and immensely moving record that not only gives AIDS a human face, but profoundly demonstrates the strength of the human spirit.
