Director David WeissmarVs latest doc is a m ust-see film We Were /fere, directed by David W eissman, centers around a small group o f people living in San Francisco who survived H IV /A ID S during the epidemic’s earliest years. Guided by the endearing, harrowing— and sometimes funny— narrative o f a diverse cast o f storytellers, We Were Here navigates sensitive waters while documenting some o f our community’s most devastating years. In 1981, H IV /A ID S infected about half o f San Francisco’s gay male population, killing thousands o f otherwise healthy young men. We Were Here provides a timeline— a chronology through the eyes o f five people who lived through it while watching friends and lovers die. The group recounts enduring painful, deadly drug trials, unthinkable civil rights violations and discrimination, an apathetic government, and a dearth o f information and support— all while facing the potential unraveling o f the community they built and loved. But that’s what this movie is really about— love. As heartbreaking as it is to watch the ceaseless death and destruction, We Were Here offers inspira tion and hope as we watch our community come together during tragedy to nurture one another— it’s a community that turns into a family, the story o f a sea o f selflessness in the most horrific o f times. Never mired in self-pity, Weissman’s portrait gives audiences grace and love in spades. The film also broaches a subject and era our community seems afraid to talk about, in what spotlights a very real generational gap. Above all else, We Were Here shows how we can and do take care o f one another.
