About this product

Product Information

In the 1970s, San Francisco had arguably the largest and most active gay community in America; it was the first city in America to elect an openly gay man to public office, Harvey Milk, and was one of the first places where the gay community learned to consolidate their political and economic power as well as enjoying a freedom and openness unknown in most cities. But the idyll of the 1970s ended in the early '80s, as AIDS began its spread through the city's gay community, claiming some of the best and brightest voices of a generation and forever changing the conversation about gay culture. Filmmaker David Weissman offers a moving portrait of the AIDS crisis and its legacy in the documentary WE WERE HERE: VOICES FROM THE AIDS YEARS IN SAN FRANCISCO, in which people who lived in the city before, during, and after the height of the AIDS pandemic discuss not just disease, death, and consequences, but how the community learned to come together to support and protect one another in a time of darkness. WE WERE HERE was screened as a work in progress at the 2010 San Francisco International LGBT Film Festival.

THE Best AIDS Movie.The 2nd being And The Band Played On.
I love this movie. I was coming into adulthood during the AIDS epidemic --as far the news really covering it. My parents, being Christian, were the ones who told me it was God's curse on gays for disobeying His commands. That they got what they deserved. Fast forward to college when I took an AIDS class, volunteered in the AIDS community and saw firsthand what AIDS was like and the people who suffered from it and HIV. I rejected my parents view and became a strong advocate for gay rights and researching about this disease. This movie is more in depth about the people AIDS affected and their deaths from it. The Band Played On was from the medical political point of view and is also an awesome movie to become better acquainted with the politics behind fixing a problem (that is fixable) and whether or not funds will be made available based such nonsense as the views of the moral majority. This is the #1 movie on the subject in my view because it pays tribute to the people, regardless of one's moral radar. These men were loved. They were sons, husbands, lovers, friends, brothers too. They should be remembered as valuable people not just a one dementional person. Yes, they were gay. But more importantly, they were loved. They are no different that you and I. Living our lives in our truth, as they did in theirs. I especially love the pictures of the men affected. It showed the sheer mass amount of needless deaths. I wish only that the disease has not taken these lives (or any). I hope and strive for a day when gay bashing is not the norm, but the exception. When we see people as people and not their sexuality or gender id or race or whatever we currently stigmatize and treat with hatred. Hasn't the hate been going on long enough--aren't you tired of it all as I am?Read full review

SEE THIS MOVIE OR OUR STORY IN SAN FRANCISCO
I am a gay man who moved to San Francisco in 1984 when the truth of this movie was becoming quite deeply painful. This is a very personal, accurate accounting of this city's journey through the worst time almost anyone alive here can recount. It is told from the points of view of several individuals who were in the very thickest parts of it, and are still (happily) still here to share. It brought tears to my eyes, pain to my heart, and laughter to my face in several parts. I was here then, too and it was all to recent I think. There is a new generation here now, and I hope you'll check this video out to understand what we'd been through, why and how we've suffered through so very much, and the joy it is to now still be here to tell our collective story. A MUST SEE for all humanity!
