Has anyone watched a movie titled Go toward the light staring Richard Thomas? I've read the book which was really moving and just wondered if anyone had watched the movie.

Could someone give a brief synopsis of it? I like anything Richard Thomas does.

Sounds like a religious experience...kind of like the book, 'Embraced by the Light', by Betty J Eadie. ;D

Here you go buckey Based on the autobiographical book by Chris Oyler, the made-for-TV Go Toward the Light is a sometimes wrenching, ofttimes inspirational AIDS drama. Claire and Greg Madison (Linda Hamilton and Richard Thomas) discover to their horror that their hemophiliac son Ben (Joshua Harris) has contracted the deadly virus through a tainted transfusion. Faced with the likelihood that Ben will not live out the year, the grief-stricken Madisons vow to make every day of that year count and to see to it that their son will not have to endure his agony alone. The excellence of the performances are matched by the script (by Susan Nanus and Beth Polson) and direction (Mike Robe). Go Toward the Light debuted November 1, 1988.
