“Filmmakers David Weissman and Bill Weber (The Cockettes) document the arrival of the AIDS epidemic, referred to as the “”Gay Plague,”” in the early 1980s. The film sheds light on the deep personal and community issues brought about by AIDS, as well as the widespread political and social upheavals it triggered. It offers a cathartic validation for a generation that witnessed and responded to the crisis. Additionally, it opens a window of understanding for those in a time when the most uncertain ideas about how the disease spread were prevalent.”
