Peter, Saw this last night a MOMA in NYC. It was stellar. You and the others are truly heroes to humanity.

What a truly inspiring movie to show the true story. As a young 20 something in he early 90's, I chose to come out by volunteering at the Whitman walker clinic in d.c. I chose to be a buddy, and my life was changed forever. Little did I know that the drugs making their way into the veins of those in my life were there because of the passion of those as Peter staley.

Thanks for this, Don. I don't know what percentage I am, but they definitely left all of my warts on the cutting room floor. I feel blessed to have been part of such an amazing movement.

Peter, I saw the film this evening in Dallas and am still up thinking about it at 4 am. I'm two years older than you and a 25+ year survivor. First of all, thank you. My HIV-partner of five years was with me this evening, and the film provided him a better understanding of what I personally went through during those "war years" with all my HIV brothers and sisters. Most of all, I feel incredibly blessed to be here making a difference every day in the LGBTQ Dallas community. I was able to retire well in 2006 after a 23 year banking career and spend my energy assisting non-profit arts organizations. Now I've transformed to social services, serving my 2nd year as President of Resorce Center Dallas Foundation, our LGBTQ community center. We're raising money to construct a much needed new facility. Although there is sadness in reflection, there is hope and inspiration at the same time. I hope our paths cross some day and wish you the very best. Gary in Dallas

Peter, I just saw the movie this evening. I was one three on a panel- two AIDS activists and the first full-time AIDS beat reporter for The Dallas Morning News. The movie was powerful and captivating. Some of us were in DC and at some of the other venues. It was cathartic. I'm glad you made it. You were powerfully portrayed and if you're half the person you appeared, your the next best thing to an angel on earth.

Peter, The film is amazing, and I am so inspired by your work and sacrifice that the film portrayed. I commend you for your strength, applaud you for your efforts, and thank you for truly making the world a better place.

I saw the film on Saturday, September 29. It was part of the Dayton, Ohio Lesbian and Gay Film Festival. I was truly moved by it. It brought back some powerful memories of the outrageous tactics of the brave ACT UP people and how necessary those tactics were -- and often still are! This should be required viewing for all who think we can't change the system. It CAN be done. ACT UP proved it!
