This is a film of rare power" - Edinburgh International Film Festival
"... this film sings ..." - The Boston Globe
"The Fire Within" is an illuminating story of two people with singular spirit. Bob Bowers is a long-term AIDS survivor who was diagnosed in 1983 at the age of 20. He met Shawn 10 years ago, and in spite of his disease, she married him six months later. To this day, she remains, HIV-negative. We record Shawn's participation in a seven-day, 575-mile bike ride as she tries, in some measure, to replicate Bob's everyday battles, his everyday victories.
"The Fire Within" is not only a movie about surviving AIDS; it is a movie about thriving, regardless of your circumstances. (62 minutes, 2002)
