To celebrate National HIV/AIDS and Aging Awareness Day, the Young Leaders Council at Fenway Health and the Wicked Queer Film Festival are partnering to screen a powerful documentary about HIV/AIDS advocacy in 1980’s Los Angeles.
“Commitment to Life” (2023), directed by Jeffrey Schwarz, tells the story of how an intrepid group of people living with HIV/AIDS, doctors, movie stars, studio moguls and activists changed the course of the epidemic. Watch the trailer
After the screening, there will be a panel of participants from Fenway Health’s Aging Project, who will provide firsthand accounts of how the epidemic affected the Greater Boston Area in the 1980s.
