A woman's hopes for her family collide with life's realities in this acclaimed documentary. In 1989, at age 27, Gail Farrow died of AIDS, which she got from a blood transfusion; and left behind letters to offer guidance to her husband and sons. Filmmaker David Binder, who chronicled the last year of Farrow's life and the immediate aftermath of her death, returns 20 years later to learn how the family has coped in her absence.
