A Life for Justin (working title)

This documentary will tell the story of an accomplished military veteran who was diagnosed with HIV while serving in the armed forces. Through an intimate, character-driven exploration of his life, experiences, and accomplishments, the film will examine how he navigated a diagnosis that could have shaped his future but did not define it.

Blending personal storytelling with reflections on resilience, perseverance, and achievement, the documentary will challenge common perceptions of people living with HIV. Rather than defining the subject by his diagnosis, the film will highlight the breadth of his life, his accomplishments, and the possibilities that exist beyond a life-changing diagnosis.

Ultimately, the film aims to inspire audiences to reconsider their assumptions about HIV and recognize that a diagnosis does not diminish a person's ability to pursue their goals, make meaningful contributions, and live an accomplished life.
