CGiii Comment

It has taken nearly 30 years...getting this from stage to screen...I remember, I saw the play - in London with Martin Sheen - way back then...when my heart was ripped out.

30 years later...with all those friends gone, my heart shattered all over again - watching and remembering...when our carefree naïveté was unrelentingly pulled from under our stubborn feet.

For those of us, of a certain age...as survivors, for that is what we became - it is our duty to remember, recount and reconcile...those dark, dark days.

Mr Kramer, Mr Murphy, Mr Pitt...you have done your duty.

For that...I, we, thank you.

The(ir) Blurb...

The story of the onset of the HIV-AIDS crisis in New York City in the early 1980s, taking an unflinching look at the nation's sexual politics as gay activists and their allies in the medical community fight to expose the truth about the burgeoning epidemic to a city and nation in denial.
