''The Ryan White Story'' is a 1989 television film starring Lukas Haas, and Judith Light, directed by John Herzfeld. The film first aired on the ABC network on January 16, 1989. The film was based on the true story of the American teenager Ryan White, who became a national poster child for HIV/AIDS in the United States, after being expelled from middle school because of his infection. Nielsen ratings estimated that the movie was seen by 15 million viewers on the original airing. ==Background== The film stars Lukas Haas as Ryan White, Judith Light as his mother Jeanne and Nikki Cox as his sister Andrea. Others in the film included Sarah Jessica Parker as a sympathetic nurse, George Dzundza as his doctor, and George C. Scott as White's attorney, who legally argued against school board authorities. Some residents of Kokomo felt that the movie portrayed their entire town in an unfairly negative light. After the film aired, the office of Kokomo mayor Robert F. Sargent was flooded with complaints from across the country, although Sargent had not been elected to the office during the time of the controversy.〔〔 In the film, the real life Ryan White made a cameo appearance as another hemophiliac AIDS sufferer named Chad. Today, the film remains available on out-of-print VHS (released in the UK only) as well as online services Hulu Plus and Netflix. The film's final scene was filmed at South Iredell High School in Statesville, North Carolina.〔http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0098237/trivia〕 The film's tagline reads "At 13, Ryan White has AIDS. This is his true story."〔http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_mpJRvQpHWXU/TEpzoO12_SI/AAAAAAAAFwI/MnOoOOUxNkI/s1600/RyanWhiteStory.jpg〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Ryan White Story」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
