Cured of active disease since the early 1950s, she has remained in the place which is now her home. Tim Baker is a thirty-two-year-old gay man, living in Honolulu who was diagnosed with AIDS in 1989.&nbsp;<div><br /></div><div><i>Olivia And Tim</i> is an affecting portrait of two individuals who have overcome the stigma of their afflictions to achieve a life-affirming place in their respective worlds. The film records their meetings as they share stories and make telling observations on the treatment society gives to people with disabling conditions.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>As Tim observes, "The disease is secondary. What Olivia and I have in common is: we both live life, and we tell it like it is."</div><div><br /></div><blockquote style="margin: 0 0 0 40px; border: none; padding: 0px;"><div><div>"...A moving, sometimes funny, often inspiring documentary"&nbsp;</div><div>— Richard Tillotson, Program Editor, Hawai'i International Film Festival</div></div><div><br /></div><div><div>"Ley and Vandervoort's treatment of a special friendship is one that fills me with hope...as it defines a new kind of odd couple."&nbsp;</div><div>— Gus Van Sant, Festival Judge, Northwest Film and Video Festival</div></div></blockquote><br /><br />Visit <a href="https://store.der.org/vandervoort-carl-c390all.aspx">Vandervoort, Carl</a> to see additional products in this category.</div>
