For Valentines Day, we're covering the 1989 TV movie "A Cry For Help: The Tracey Thurman Story," based on a true story, starring Nancy McKeon and Dale Midkiff. You'll be relieved you're single!

Tracey Thurman tried to escape her abusive husband Buck, but he followed and relentlessly stalked her. No matter how many time she reported him to the police, they refused to help her. Then one day, Buck stabbed Tracey 13 times in broad daylight, in front of a cop! When she recovered, Tracey sued the police department and helped put a new law in place protecting victims of abuse.
Your hosts filmmaker Katie Madonna Lee and writer Louis Jordan, with special guest Autumn Welker, discuss the effect Tracey Thurman's case on changing laws and raising awareness about spousal abuse. We also discuss Lisa Bianco, whose tragic death at the hands of her husband helped spark change, and talk about why portrayals of abuse in TV movies get it right more often than theatrical movies.

During the late 80's, Ryan White was the public face of AIDS. Ryan was a heterosexual teenage boy from Kokomo, Indiana who got HIV from infected blood products used to treat his hemophilia. His legal battle to be able to attend school after being diagnosed became a national sensation, and his case won the hearts and minds of middle Americans who had seen AIDS as a gay disease. This 1989 TV movie was a major part of Ryan White's legacy and shows just how culturally important TV Movies can be.
Louis talks with his co-host Katie about her memories of growing up in Indiana during the peak years of Ryan White's fame. We look at how the city of Kokomo was negatively affected by this TV movie, how the real life story was actually worse than how its presented onscreen, Ryan's friendships with Elton John and Michael Jackson, his media narrative as an "innocent victim" of AIDS, and Ryan's lasting influence on HIV treatment.

Our next episode covers "The Ryan White Story" a TV Movie that is near and dear to MMP. We talk about how Indiana responded to Ryan White on the local level.
