I've used "And the Band Played On" in both health psychology and in a psychology of social issues course - it is a docu-drama based on the U.S. and French researchers attempts to understand what was happening and intervene in the early stages of the AIDS epidemic. It is based on a book by journalist Randy Shilts and I think it is well-done, and the classes have received it well.   There is also a documentary called "Cancer in Two Voices" about two women in a long term relationship in which one has terminal cancer. Also based on a book of the same title by Sandra Butler and Barbara Rosenblum.   Both have powerful emotional impacts.
