SYNOPSIS

It has been 20 years since the world stood in shock as Magic Johnson announced his immediate retirement from basketball because he contracted HIV/AIDS. I'M NOT MAGIC, is a documentary that explores the lives of people who have been living with the virus during these 20 years, emphasizing the stark contrast between the affluent and the everyday man living with the virus. Can these individuals practice the "Magic" needed to defeat the deviant stigma assigned to them by our fearful society, or will they become another number in New York City's grim HIV/AIDS statistics? What does it mean to have Hope - is it Magic?
