"There's no denying that Living Proof is a tear-jerker, but not in the manipulative sense of most "disease-of-the-week" made-for-TV movies. It's an extraordinary and moving tale with lots of tenacious and courageous heroes, along with a few villains, and it provides a fascinating look into the complicated, lengthy, and often painful process that can go into the development of any new and potentially life-saving drug."
