The Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation hosted an advance screening of the documentary "Blood Brother" in Los Angeles, Calif.

Stories of hope and inspiration reach us from all around the world, and while no two are exactly alike, few are as powerful as the story depicted in the documentary “Blood Brother.”   This film premiered at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival, where it won both the Grand Jury Prize and the Audience Award, and was recently reviewed as a “Critic’s Pick” in The New York Times.

With moving intimacy, the film captures the story of Rocky Braat, a young man from Pittsburgh, PA who moves to India to work in an orphanage for HIV-positive children.  Through the eyes of Steve Hoover, Rocky’s best friend and the film’s director, the audience understands just how much of a difference one person’s love and compassion can make, especially in affecting the lives and well-being of children infected with HIV.
