Travis

Overview

Seven-year-old Travis has AIDS. Filmmaker Richard Kotuk invites us to witness Travis’s struggle. With his intense yearning for life and understanding of death, Travis describes the disease as a “monster inside of me: I’m gonna fight it. I will fight.” Supported by his grandmother and his community of cousins, Travis fights AIDS for an opportunity to be a boy with normal childhood dreams. An unsentimental portrait, Travis questions our own understanding of death and passion for life.
