Angels in America (2003)
There’s no denying the power of this transcendent work of art. Tony Kushner’s extravagant, intellectual and ultimately tragic two-part play Angels in America is produced by HBO as a miniseries directed by Mike Nichols, and the result is transformative. Multiple storylines—about gay men, Roy Cohn, Jewish ancestors and Mormons, to name a few—converge in an emotional stew of humanity during the darkest of the AIDS years.
