Médecins de coeur -- Film Description:
"AIDS is giving rise to profound soul-searching and debate. While those living with HIV and AIDS do their utmost to maintain their quality of life, health care professionals struggle to provide medical and support services, researchers and clinicians pool their knowledge, and philosophers and humanists open up new avenues of thought. Doctors with Heart enters the doors of an AIDS clinic in Montreal, providing a thoughtful look at all aspects of AIDS through the eyes of some particularly compassionate and dedicated doctors. Candid and original in its approach, this powerful documentary explores the legal and ethical problems facing contemporary medicine as it confronts one of its biggest challenges."
