Departing Gesture

As the front lines of America’s H.I.V. epidemic continue to migrate away from metropolitan centers, a funeral director in the heart of the South confronts an environment of social shame and ignorance to ensure a dignified end for those who have died of H.I.V.-related causes.

Directed and Produced by Brian Bolster and Jonathan Napolitano
