5B

i was sobbing-hyperventilating-heaving-wheezing-crying throughout this whole doc

this made me feel more connected to my first cousin once removed, joey. he passed away from AIDS in 1992, which obviously means i've never met him. i've felt so alone in my queerness, as no one on either side of my family is queer. i have very little information on joey, and after watching this, i did a deep dive into him; going through obituaries and newspaper archives looking for any small thing about him. i found a birthday wish a year after his death from his partner, danny.

this world can be so very cruel to the kindest and most caring people. i wish i could've met him.

This was a very well done documentary and I felt they tackled the subject matter very effectively. A good documentary to me both informs and evokes emotions, both of which 5B does. It obviously highlights how heartbreaking the epidemic was and still is, while also highlighting how courageous some of these doctors and nurses are for doing the best they can to care for the sick. It's both tragic and triumphant, especially when they focus in on individual cases and their stories.
