Editorial
One of the first documentaries about the AIDS crisis, Nik Sheehan’s landmark debut honors the staggering resilience of HIV-positive people, then shunned by the government, the media, and the general public. A heartfelt portrait of queer solidarity, collectively expressed through art and activism.
