Cable AMC (previously thought to stand for American Motors Co) has surprisingly good offerings. Yesterday, they featured, "The Cure," intriguing, so I watched on. It was about a heartwarming relationship of two boys, neighbors who were separated by a fence covered by a thick plastic curtain. The younger boy had AIDS, which did not bother the other boy, supposedly the son of a Led Zeppelin band member who was, of course, always away. The boys go on adventures from floating down their creek on a lifesaver to buy chocolates in the grocery, to picking leaves for curative tea
Threatened with summer camp by AIDS-phobic mother of elder boy, he stows away with young friend to New Orleans in their search for The Cure.
Children could be potential mediators as they see things more clearly and simply, with less bias. They just focus on the problem and try to solve it.
