It's a Sin
Its A Sin one of the most emotional series we at "PinkUk" have seen. Going through the 5 part series starting in 1981 when the aids epidemic
was starting to take hold. This is one of the most touching and moving captures of how real it was in the 80's. Also, how stigmatised HIV/Aids were back then.
We all had a good cry through the last 3 episodes and have since had nothing but this series stuck in our minds. "It's A Sin" is a must see.
You can watch it on All4 App
where all 5 episodes are available. We rate this a strong 5 stars.
Some of us at PinkUk remember going through the fear during that decade.
