In honor of World AIDS Day, Showtime Documentary The Other City will premire December 1st at 7:30 PM both Eastern and Pacific in the USA.

The film is directed by Emmy and Peabody-winning filmmaker Susan Koch (“Kicking It”) and produced by entrepreneur and philanthropist Sheila C. Johnson. The co-producer is award-winning journalist Jose Antonio Vargas.

The Other City, tells the stories of Washington D.C. citizens who have taken matters into their own hands and have not let the lack of government assistance stop them from pursuing effective treatment or from fighting the spread of HIV/AIDS every day.

According to the filmakers, "politics, ideology, corruption and bureaucracy have led the HIV/AIDS epidemic to grow out of control in Washington D.C., the city that is supposed to represent the best ideals of the United States of America."

On Wednesday, in honor of World AIDS Day, join me in watching the premiere of The Other City on Showtime.
