«Voices from the Front – Testing the Limits»
«Voices from the Front» «demonstrates that informed committed citizens can indeed make a difference» writes Vincent Canby in the New York Post. This message comes through loud and clear in this political documentary produced by San Francisco film makers Sandra Elgear, Robyn Hutt and David Meieran. It traces the coming together of a movement to expose the failure of the US health care system and to challenge the US government's inaction and neglect concerning AIDS.
This movement has also been the catalyst for a much broader lesbian and gay rights movement that brought together a national march on Washington of 650,000 people in October 1987 and another of more than 1 million on April 25 this year [1993].
