Over Our Dead Bodies

The documentary presents a raw look at the activism surrounding the AIDS crisis, interweaving interviews with footage from meetings, demonstrations, and public displays of dissent, such as kiss-ins. It confronts the inaction of church, state, and health authorities, while also critiquing the British LGBTQ+ community for not leveraging their grief and anger as tools for political change.

Through a mix of personal narratives and stark statistics, the film aims to provoke thought and discussion about the societal response to the AIDS epidemic. The scenes of protests, including confrontations between AIDS patients and law enforcement, underline the urgency and emotional weight of the struggle depicted. This documentary serves as a significant record of a crucial period in LGBTQ+ activism and public health discourse.
