Product Description
An edifying must-see that has received accolades at film festivals the world over, 'We Were Here' is the first film to take a deep and reflective look back at the arrival and impact of a definitive chapter in a city s queer history. It explores how the inhabitants were affected by, and how they responded to, a calamitous epidemic.
Though a San Francisco-based story, We Were Here extends beyond San Francisco and beyond AIDS itself. It speaks to our capacity as individuals to rise to the occasion, and to the incredible power of a community coming together with love, compassion, and determination.
In the face of adversity they stood strong and united.
This is their story.

excellent thoughtful and moving doc . Watched this over christmas and felt very humble . Not always easy to watch at times , but then why should it be . it is so easy to forget and take life for granted.

i'm so floored by this film. i can't remember the last time i've seen anything as powerful as this. it's moving, and incredibly uplifting. it's so life affirming to hear of a community coming together to help each other as governments failed us again and again. i urge everyone to watch this... i can't express how wonderfully life affirming it was to come out of the cinemas having this feeling of hope.

So much exists around the outbreak of the AIDS crisis, but nothing as humbling or powerful as this documentary. I found myself incredibly moved by it and thankful for these brave people. Don't hesitate to watch this true heritage.
