Synopsis:
Bob Bowers, a long-term AIDS survivor infected in 1983 at the age of 20, was stricken with the disease due to a one-time decision to share a needle. He met Shawn in 1990 and in spite of his disease she married him six months later. To this day she remains HIV-negative. Shawn's participation in a 7-day, 575-mile bike ride is recorded as she tries, in some measure, to replicate Bob's everyday battles and his everyday victories.
Gritty, raw and very real, The Fire Within is not only a movie about surviving AIDS; this is a movie about thriving -- regardless of the circumstances.
The film parallels the struggles, challenges, and fortitude of two incredibly passionate, inspiring and vibrant souls.
