San Francisco, 1978. A young man sticks a notice in a shop window saying: I have these marks on my body and no doctor can tell me what’s wrong with me. Can anyone help? The ensuing decimation of a community that had only begun securing human rights is now part of our collective history, but this perfectly structured and deeply affecting documentary goes back to the early years of the AIDS epidemic to tell the story from the points of view of five gay San Franciscans who survived it.
More than a heartbreaking story about the ravages of the virus and the loss of so many of our forebears, We Were Here is rewarding personal testament to the incredible power of people to rally together as a community to help each other with determination, and to heal each other with love.
