Ed Wolf reflects on the despair felt during the AIDS epidemic when he questioned the lack of action around him. Through his involvement in screenings for the film 'We Were Here,' he realized that despite the dire news and fear of the time, numerous individuals had been actively finding ways to support and care for one another. His experience showed him the silent resilience and solidarity that existed among people facing profound loss and uncertainty, revealing that hope was woven within the community despite the overwhelming circumstances.
It's dark and cold and spring feels so far away... I wondered, where is everyone, why isn't anyone doing anything about it?
When we figured out how to come together and help the living and the dying, people quietly found ways to survive and support each other.
I attended over a hundred screenings... and everywhere, people who had helped with AIDS stood up.
How could I have known that countless people had been quietly finding ways to support each other during such a dark time?
