It follows the journeys of seven gay men struggling with Meth addiction and recovery against a backdrop of an emerging second wave of HIV infection. From grappling with the drug’s effects on their physical and mental health to wrestling with their darkest sexual desires, the film delivers a chilling portrait of a community in crisis. With an unflinching eye the film captures their stories over a two-year period, from sex clubs to hospitals to family gatherings. It takes enormous courage to face these demons, and even more to allow the world to watch.

A man confesses his compulsive sexual behavior but in doing so calls into question the accuracy of sexual disclosures. Reflecting a post-antiviral arena of sexual promiscuity for urban gay men, the monologue appears to indict members of the gay community for violating HIV disclosure laws. The film presents the frightening ambiguity of written law alongside a compulsive play by play of sexual recollection. With civil lawsuits now allowed to process in HIV transmission cases based on “constructive knowledge,” the film exposes sexual shaming becoming a culpability being legally attached to HIV.

A Q&A panel with director Jay Corcoran, Outcast Films Entertainment representatives, and local community leaders involved in the prevention of drug abuse will follow the presentation.  Light refreshments will be served.
