SEX POSITIVE

Director: DARYL WEIN

U.S.A. • 2008 • 75MINS


One of the most provocative and challenging new movies for gay audiences, this film is charged with passion, emotion and dedication to its subject. Meet the man who invented your 21st Century sex life. Richard Berkowitz, now penniless and forgotten, was one of the three key political activists during the early days of the American AidS crisis but ended up being vilified by his own community for discussing issues such as sexual promiscuity. An S&M hustler, he wrote and published How to Have Sex in an Epidemic, now considered to be the genesis of modern day gay safe sex. Sex Positive is a brilliantly electric and intoxicating film, telling a much more dramatic and intriguing story of the AidS crisis than you may have ever imagined.
