Tietoja tästä elokuvasta

David Weissman's critically-acclaimed 2012 Independent Spirit Award nominee, WE WERE HERE is the first documentary to take a deep and reflective look back at the arrival and impact of AIDS in San Francisco. It explores how the City's inhabitants were affected by, and how they responded to, that calamitous epidemic. Though a San Francisco-based story, WE WERE HERE extends beyond San Francisco and beyond AIDS itself. It speaks to our capacity as individuals to rise to the occasion, and to the incredible power of a community coming together with love, compassion, and determination. Offering an intensely personal account of five individuals whose lives were forever transformed by the tragedy of AIDS, WE WERE HERE offers a hauntingly beautiful tribute to an era of tremendous suffering, loss and resilience.

I lived in San Francisco during this time. I recognize a lot of people in this video. I was there. I survived because I was coupled. I'm still alive. They were my friends, I mourn them, I miss them. I was not as courageous as them nor as out as them.

Beautiful, stunningly beautiful!

Great movie
