About the Documentary:
"The documentary 5B conveys an inspirational story of everyday heroes, nurses, and caregivers who took extraordinary action to comfort, protect, and care for the patients in the first AIDS ward at San Francisco General Hospital in the early 1980s. This critical moment in healthcare history is conveyed through first-person accounts from nurses and healthcare professionals who, in the absence of any existing protocols, forged a new, innovative approach to patient care that was both medically sound and humane. Johnson & Johnson commissioned this documentary to demonstrate the impact of nurses in health care and inspire the next generation of innovative nurses by showing them how nurses responded to a health crisis that ultimately became a new standard of care."
