“The film 1985 speaks to the pain of withheld truth, separating one loved one from another because of bigotry, ignorance and fear of rejection. As we reflect on the world as it is over 30 years after 1985 takes place, we must pay tribute to those who took the battle cry seriously: Silence = Death. Action = Life. We owe a great debt to everyone who came out – intentionally and because of their deaths from AIDS – for creating a world that is so much more evolved today.”
