On April 1st, MTV and the Logo network will air a movie about the life of Pedro Zamora, a cast member on The Real World: San Francisco who died of AIDS in 1994, at the age of 22.

Yes, he was obviously more than that, but there are many other worthy, HIV-afflicted, activists/educators/role models whose biopics aren't going to be made any time soon.
Here's the trailer:
