Life Support

View in Flikflix

In her youth, Ana made choices that wrecked her life and splintered her family. Now, she’s trying to give something back. But winning over strangers is a lot easier than winning back your family. Oscar(R)-nominee Queen Latifah stars in this sobering drama about an HIV-positive Brooklyn woman who channels her energy and regret over her past drug addiction into working for an AIDS outreach group. Her passion for her job reveals her deep desire for atonement, but her stubbornness threatens to drive her already-fractured family even further away, leading her to learn a poignant lesson about loving...and letting go. Anna Deavere Smith, Wendell Pierce (HBO's 'The Wire'), Rachel Nicks and Evan Ross co-star. Directed by Nelson George; written by Nelson George and Jim McKay & Hannah Weyer.
