This biopic takes a look at the first famous HIV sufferer. A young Cuban immigrant got sexually active early, and soon picked up HIV. He decided to become an activist, warning others of the danger. Then MTV launched their initial version of the ''Big Brother'' reality TV show, and Pedro managed to get onto the first series, where he used his HIV status to spread the word. He died the night the last episode was broadcast.
