Los Angeles in the 1980’s. The world is about to change as a young doctor discovers the first warning sign of the HIV/AIDS epidemic. While the virus and history unfolded as we know it, Commitment to Life examines Hollywood’s fight for LGBTQIA+ justice. The invaluable activist work of some of Tinsel Town’s biggest stars – including Elizabeth Taylor, Rock Hudson and David Geffen – is brought into the spotlight using archival footage and first-person interviews. From individual determination to the collective might of ACT UP and The AIDS Project Los Angeles, this documentary tribute looks at a city that helped support, advocate for, and strengthen a community.
