I didn’t know they made a movie.

It was a book by Randy Shilts, written about SF and NY. I knew a lot of the people in the book personally. Very well written.

Probably the best insider account of AIDS politics 1979-1988 that will ever be written.

If you wonder why expensive AIDS medication is free and expensive diabetes medication isn’t, read the book.

The book by that title is well worth your time, Randy Shilts did a first rate job of documenting the insanity behind the soread of AUDS.

More the book. The film shied away from some subjects (as I recall). A big part of the spread was the reluctance of authorities to shut down events where it spread.
