This film serves as an important historical document, exploring the reactions of New York's artistic community to the ravages of AIDS. Responses range from David Wojnarowicz' venomous proclamations and painter Rafael Gamba's seething indictment of homophobic bigotry to Keith Haring's nostalgic longing for the days of care-free sex and Allen Ginsberg's musings upon his shyer attitude about sexual experimentation. Even with the gentler voices, the film's undercurrent is an angry demand for action and recognition. New York artists further their own brand of AIDS awareness through performance art, music, theatre, literature, and the visual arts
