Ryan White

My Own Story

By: Ryan White, Ann Marie Cunningham

Narrated by: Lukas Haas

Ryan White was a typical 13-year-old living in a small town in the Midwest. Then, it was discovered that Ryan had contracted AIDS through tainted blood products he had been given for his hemophilia. Denied the right to return to school, he went to court. Newspaper headlines followed the many legal battles, and although Ryan won the court case, his own fight had just begun. With great courage, he spoke out against the many misconceptions about the disease and called for AIDS sufferers to be treated with compassion. In this moving, personal account—narrated by Lukas Haas who played Ryan in a television film—the young advocate shares the struggle not only for himself but for others, ensuring his brief life had an everlasting impact long after he was gone.
