Documentary about the breakout of AIDS in San Francisco in the early 1980s. During the 1970s, San Francisco had a very open gay community where men and women were able to enjoy a sense of freedom denied them in most other cities in America. However, when AIDS began to spread it caused a huge increase in deaths in the city, as it did around the world.
