    essential viewing
    This is a really fine piece of work.

    The BBC screened it on BBC4 in Febrary 2012 and made it available via i-Player also.

    Anyone who lived in the Bay Area during the eighties will be moved, informed and educated by this documentary. As a young gay geek in San Francisco in those years, I was overwhelmed by the deaths and suffering I saw and often could not make sense of it. This documentary really helps.

    The tales of the attacks on civil liberties by the bigots, and the personal tales were emotive and powerful.

    Now I salute those survivors and hope their stories will stimulate others in future onslaughts.
