Commitment to life

DVD - 2024

A fascinating, emotional history lesson, Commitment to Life dives deep into the true, twisty story of the fight against HIV/AIDS in Los Angeles. Director Jeffrey Schwarz (Vito, Frameline35; I Am Divine, Frameline37; Boulevard! A Hollywood Story, Frameline46) offers a densely researched close-up of people who devoted their lives to finding a cure for AIDS beginning in the early ₁80s, including the birth of APLA (Aids Project Los Angeles). As the deadly virus begins to spread, doctors, activists, and entertainment professionals navigate a society that's not ready to accept the reality of this mysterious disease.
