Actors :Ed Wolf,Paul Boneberg,Daniel Goldstein,Guy Clark,Eileen GlutzerWe Were Here documents the coming of what was called the "Gay Plague" in the early 1980s. It illuminates the profound personal and community issues raised by the AIDS epidemic as well as the broad political and social upheavals it unleashed. It offers a cathartic validation for the generation that suffered through, and responded to, the onset of AIDS. It opens a window of understanding to those who have only the vaguest notions of what transpired in those years. It provides insight into what society could, and should, offer its citizens in the way of medical care, social services, and community support. -- (C) Official Site

New Review For Movie We Were Here
[A] sober, devastating film about how we all - and some more than others - have to deal with the most unexpected horrors in our lives.
Dave Calhoun-Time Out There's something profoundly inspirational about this portrait of a community coming together to battle prejudice and disease.
John Hartl-Seattle Times "We Were Here" pays eloquent homage to men and women who deserve to be celebrated and remembered as heroes.
Ann Hornaday-Washington Post The most gripping war movie you'll see this year, We Were Here tells first-hand the story of how AIDS attacked San Francisco, killing more than 15,000. Whole peer groups were happy, healthy, and then dead in months.
Stephen Cole-Globe and Mail It is both a testament to the fallen and a series of life lessons from five brave survivors, lessons about finding the best in ourselves in the worst of times.
Bruce Demara-Toronto Star Its vivid, no-nonsense style (in which interviews, period photographs, and news footage merge seamlessly) makes the past present.
Bruce Diones-New Yorker We Were Here ultimately serves as a tribute -- not only to those who are no longer with us, but also to those who crossed the minefield and emerged as survivors, storytellers and heroes.
Matt Brunson-Creative Loafing ...cinematographer Marsha Kahm has done a stellar job of zeroing in on the disparate visages whether revelling in the joy of a long-forgotten moment with a former partner or letting tears of 'Why not me?' come into unabashed focus.
S. James Wegg-JWR A simple, powerful act of bearing witness, We Were Here is a sober reminder of the not-too-distant past, when gays were focused not on honeymoon plans but on keeping people alive.
Melissa Anderson-L.A. Weekly ...simple yet very intense, and if you have any interest in gay history, you won't want to miss it.
Sarah Boslaugh-Playback:stl Cathartic and bittersweet with moments of joy and humor. Weissman's movie is a rare gift.
Richard Knight-Knight at the Movies an insular story, told by insiders, of a particular community - a community to which this reviewer happened to be connected ... invaluable as a reminder of how it felt to be helpless, to be thought lost, and yet prevail. They - we - did overcome.
Philip Martin-Arkansas Democrat-Gazette ...this is a work that chronicles the very beginnings of a disease that shook the world for decades.
Robin Clifford-Reeling Reviews ...honors the fallen, the survivors and those who helped both by documenting the intensity and the many issues surrounding the maelstrom which was the AIDS epidemic in San Francisco
Laura Clifford-Reeling Reviews [It's] as much about survival as tragedy, and any statistics in it pale in comparison to the personal testimony of those telling the tale.
Duane Dudek-Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Maintaining the perfect balance between the political and the personal, this is a documentary that will make you feel as well as think.
-Film4 Weissman documents the ingenuity, generosity and optimism of a community that fell victim to a horrible disease that, with astonishing speed, turned the world inside out.
-This is London Even if, understandably, it's a little inward-looking (the ongoing disaster in Africa gets barely a mention), as a slice of social history, We Were Here takes an invigoratingly positive position on a very gloomy time.
Andrew Pulver-Guardian [UK] An honest, frank and often moving documentary that deals with its difficult subject matter sensitively and compellingly.
Paul Weedon-Little White Lies A moving look behind the curtain of a rarely-explored community.
Eve Barlow-Empire Magazine Generosity, compassion, courage, determination, love and caring are the things that are emphasized in this film.
Robert Roten-Laramie Movie Scope A very moving and heartfelt documentary that acts as an historical record for a time when the AIDS epidemic was a nightmare for the gay community.
Dennis Schwartz-Ozus' World Movie Reviews I truly doubt that any thinking, feeling human could behold all the horrible loss and pain that this film chronicles and not be shaken to the core.
