Filmmaker Jeffrey Schwartz Returns to Our Show with "Commitment to Life" !

Telling the story of the AIDS epidemic from the AIDS Project Los Angeles perspective, filmmaker Jeffrey Schwartz joins us again on RATED LGBT RADIO. We spoke to Jeffrey a few months ago about his gay love story film, "Boulevard". Stories of the AIDS crisis have been widely told with New York City or San Francisco as the backdrop. Jeffrey's new film Commitment to Life focuses on the emergence of AIDS Project LA,, its founders, and how it awakened Hollywood to challenge the inertia of the public in its response to AIDS. AIDS Project Los Angeles stepped into the center of the AIDS storm through a committed group of activists who helped care for the sick and dying, while at the same time lobbied those in Hollywood to contribute to the fight. APLA brought together A-list stars like Elizabeth Taylor, who used her celebrity to advocate for people with AIDS and inspired the Hollywood community to do the same. The film covers and features Nancy Cole, one of the founders of AIDS Project Los Angeles, one of the first women in LA to go public about having AIDS, Phill Wilson,an activist, Prop 64 which would have placed people with HIV in internment camps, Brenda Frieberg, who when both of her sons were diagnosed with AIDS, traveled to Washington to lobby for access to drugs that could save their lives and Jewel Thais-Williams, owner of Catch One disco, who helped start the Minority AIDS Project .
