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.
Starts Fri., Oct. 14, with Weissman on hand opening night fo r a Q&A, check
theaterfor showtimes; Regal Fox Tower 10, 846 SW Park Ave.; S8.50-S10.50;
