Common Threads: Stories from the Quilt

Narrated by Dustin Hoffman, with a musical score written and performed by Bobby McFerrin, the film recounts the lives and deaths of various victims of AIDS who are commemorated in the AIDS Memorial Quilt. A massive cloth collecting each piece as a memorial for each victim of the disease, to both show the death toll and the humanity of the victims.
