We know it’s short notice, but if you’re in London and have the time, there’s a Special Charity Gala screening of the powerful AIDS documentary, We Were Here, taking place tonight (September 15th) at the Odeon Covent Garden, hosted by Peccadillo Pictures, Terrence Higgins Trust & Attitude magazine with director David Weissman in attendance.
The critically acclaimed film documents the coming of what was called the “Gay Plague” in the early 1980s. It illuminates the profound personal and community issues raised by the AIDS epidemic in San Francisco as well as the broad political and social upheavals it unleashed. Deeply moving and inspirational, David Weissman and Bill Weber’s beautifully made film offers a real insight into how a community rose to the challenge with courage and compassion.
Funds raised by the event will be donated to HIV and sexual health charity Terrence Higgins trust.
