We Were Here Page #10

Synopsis: '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.

Of the developed world...

Is the... The vast amount

of sickness and death.

I would really like

to be able to live long enough.

To know, like,

how does the epidemic.

Actually come to an end?

Like,

will the treatments come.

And... And finally

and effectively stop people.

From becoming sicker?

And will the vaccine come,

and...

And stop people from being able

to transmit and acquire it...

And... And will it all

just finally...

...finally just stop?

- You know, when people say,

"how did you get through it?"

It's like,

"i don't know. "

You know?

You just do.

And everybody does.

I mean, anybody

who's got cancer or aids...

And they're just like, "oh,

you're, you know, so amazing.

You... You've

gotten through this. "

It's like,

"do I have a choice?"

You know.

I want to stay alive...

And I'm gonna take care

of myself the best I can...

And you just do it.

And it's not heroic.

You just do it.

And the same thing

with losing a partner.

It's...

...you know,

so many, you know...

...most people in the world

lose partners...

You know, at one time

in their lives or another...

And you just...

You live through it...

And it's horrible...

But you do live through it.

I know I have so many friends

who died so young.

That's... I mean, that's...

...that, to me,

is the most painful part.

What would the world be like now

if they were alive?

It would be different.

It would be very different.

I mean,

so many powerful people...

Talented people.

I miss...

I miss a lot of them.

A lot.
