'We Were Here' is the first film to take a deep and reflective look back at the arrival and impact of AIDS in San Francisco, and how the City's inhabitants dealt with that unprecedented calamity. It explores what was not so easy to discern in the midst of it all - the parallel histories of suffering and loss, and of community coalescence and empowerment.

Full Plot Details

'We Were Here' is the first film to take a deep and reflective look back at the arrival and impact of AIDS in San Francisco, and how the City's inhabitants dealt with that unprecedented calamity. It explores what was not so easy to discern in the midst of it all - the parallel histories of suffering and loss, and of community coalescence and empowerment. Though this is a San Francisco based story, the issues it addresses extend not only beyond San Francisco but also beyond AIDS itself. 'We Were Here' speaks to our societal relationship to death and illness, our capacity as individuals to rise to the occasion, and the importance of community in addressing unimaginable crises.

Movie Reviews

The New York Times - 10/10 by Stephen HoldenThroughout We Were Here there is not a hint of mawkishness, self-pity or self-congratulation. The humility, wisdom and cumulative sorrow expressed lend the film a glow of spirituality and infuse it with grace.
The Globe and Mail (Toronto) - 10/10 by Stephen ColeThe 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.
Los Angeles Times - 10/10 by Kenneth TuranAn extraordinarily moving examination of how the AIDS epidemic both devastated and transformed San Francisco's gay community, this clear-eyed and soulful documentary brings us inside the contagion in a way that is so intimate, so personal, you feel like you're hearing about these catastrophic events for the first time.
San Francisco Chronicle - 10/10 by Mick LaSalleThere is no turning away from the screen.
Film Comment Magazine - 10/10 by Amy TaubinThe filmmakers have amassed an amazing archive of photos and videotapes, but it is the intimate, personal testimonies that make the film so vital, urgent, and necessary.
culturevulture.net - 10/10 by Les Wright... the document of record, establishing the public, collective memory of a time and place so many have wanted to forget.
Seattle Times - 9/10 by John HartlThere's something profoundly inspirational about this portrait of a community coming together to battle prejudice and disease.
Milwaukee Journal Sentinel - 9/10 by Duane Dudek[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.
Reeling Reviews - 9/10 by Robin Clifford...this is a work that chronicles the very beginnings of a disease that shook the world for decades.
Knight at the Movies - 9/10 by Richard KnightCathartic and bittersweet with moments of joy and humor. Weissman's movie is a rare gift.
