BLACK/GAY/stuck at home: DAYBREAK (Celebrating NYHAAD)

Our next screening, in partnership with National Youth HIV/AIDS Awareness Day + Gran Varones, features the 1993 dystopian film DAYBREAK.

ABOUT THE FILM

In 1993, a sexually transmitted epidemic rages across the country, and the totalitarian government rounds up those suspected of infection to be placed in quarantine and left to die. The oppressive measures, which include patrols of streets gangs looking for those infected, spark massive outrage-fueled protests. Soon a leader, Torch (Cuba Gooding Jr.), and a fiery fellow freedom fighter, Blue (Moira Kelly), unify the revolt to throw off the government's extreme measures. This film is based on the 1987 Off-Broadway play Beirut by Alan Bowne.

Note: This event includes mature themes and emotionally impactful content. Recommended for audiences 18+. Viewer discretion advised.
