France's film includes never-before-seen archival footage from the 1980s and 1990s, and focuses on the fight of a group of activists to transform living with HIV from a death sentence to a livable condition.
In his review of the film, Screen's David D'Arcy wrote that the documentary "looks and feels like an unruly collage that is anything but conventionally cinematic," but also praised it for reaching "a heartbreaking crescendo in archival footage." In its packed premiere at Sundance, the film received two standing ovations—one for the screening and one for the Q&A that followed.
