This film is about the HIV/AIDS crisis in San Francisco. There will be a panel of medical professionals to answer questions and discuss the current status of HIV/AIDS, including treatment options, what undetectable viral load means, and how near a normal life one has living affected . Of course the panel members may bring up whatever other issues they believe pertinent.

Here are a couple of reviews of the documentary: “Of all the cinematic explorations of the AIDS crisis, not one is more heartbreaking and inspiring than WE WERE HERE… Throughout WE WERE HERE there is not a hint of mawkishness, self-pity or self-congratulation. The humility, wisdom and cumulative sorrow expressed lend the film a glow of spirituality and infuse it with grace.” (New York Times) “David Weissman and Bill Weber’s brisk, tender, multifaceted, and deeply moving documentary, tells the story of the AIDS crisis through the voices of four gay men … and one woman, all of whom pitched in—for years—to help the sick and the dying because, as the movie makes clear, the circumstances made it unthinkable for them to do otherwise. They and their comrades are the equivalent of World War II resistance fighters, and the film gives their commitment and courage the celebration it deserves…. simply the most compelling history of the major tragedy and epic struggle of our time.” (Art of the Real: Documentary Redefined, Film Society Lincoln Center) What a stark contrast to the current bias of LGBTQs towards those living with HIV/AIDS.
