Memory and Activism at Frameline 41

Specifically two films, AGAINST THE LAW and AFTER LOUIE. The former a docu-drama about the reluctant activist, Peter Wildeblood, whose imprisonment for being gay led to a book and the start of a movement for justice. The latter the story of survivor’s guilt on the part of an aging AIDS activist played by Allan Cumming.

I spoke with the directors of each film as part of Frameline 41’s second press day on June 23, 2017, the you can listen by clicking on the links below to why each film is both remarkable and very necessary.
