纪录片将观众带回艾滋爆发的最初年代,再现旧金山最人心惶惶的一刻,讲述男女同性恋如何面对这场毫无所知的世纪疫情。当朋友相继染病,当医学束手无策,同志族群以爱、勇气和决心携手抗艾,阻止病毒扩散,相互扶持面对。导演从容揭开了影响全球人类的血泪一页,本片入围2011年圣丹斯电影节和第61届柏林电影节。'We Were Here' is the first film to take a deep and reflective look back at the arrival and impact of AIDS in San Francisco, and how the City's inhabitants dealt with that unprecedented calamity. It explores what was not so easy to discern in the midst of it all - the parallel histories of suffering and loss, and of community coalescence and empowerment. Though this is a San Francisco based story, the issues it addresses extend not only beyond San Francisco but also beyond AIDS itself. 'We Were Here' speaks to our societal relationship to death and illness, our capacity as individuals to rise to the occasion, and the importance of community in addressing unimaginable crises.
