Julia Roberts, Alfred Molina, Mark Ruffalo, Jonathan Groff, Jim Parsons.
A film drama that tells the dramatic, poignant and often-exasperating story of the early days of the HIV-AIDS crisis in New York City in the early '80s, 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.
Blu-ray, widescreen; requires Blu-ray player.
COMMUNITY REVIEWS
riveting aids activism story submitted by Jackie77 on August 21, 2015, 10:07am Very heartwrenching story about the AIDS crisis in the 80's. Some very determined gay men work the hardest they can to get national support and government acknowledgement and assistance to fight the mysterious disease that is being called gay cancer. Julia roberts play a dr who is trying to warn them to stop having sex so they can stay healthy.
So good! submitted by Xris on December 12, 2021, 12:55am I didn't realize for a little while into the movie that this was happening in NYC. They did a great job of portraying a terrible time when people wouldn't talk about AIDS or HIV. The end made me cry. Wish I could show this to my GSA, but it might be too much.
