Documentary: We Were Here


The documentary We Were Here by David Weissman won the audience award at Mix Copenhagen Festival 2011 that ended yesterday. The story based in San Francisco & the renowned The Castro acts as a reminder of the immense AIDS-tragedy that struck the gay community in the 80s. But even more it becomes a homage to the people that have passed & all the people that engaged themselves, a community joining together, that struggled to create awareness, researching the disease & developing medication, as well as fighting for their civil rights.
