A documentary by the community, for the community
An unflinching & inspiring feature documentary that examines the experiences of 22 Los Angeles community members & leaders through this historic time and the lessons learned from their forebears of the HIV/AIDS pandemic & COVID – 19, including the use of “Expanded Access” program championed during the AIDS crisis by ACT UP” to the CoVID 19 vaccines. “PROUD in a Pandemic” captures a moment in time when despite these struggles, the breadth and diversity of the LGBTQ+ community is becoming more connected and united than ever before. The PROUD in a Pandemic film is a time capsule of stories about the innovation, survival, and resilience of the LGBTQ+ community.
