This documentary from Academy Award-winning directors Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman tells the story of the extraordinary moment when research scientist Dr. Mathilde Krim and Hollywood icon Elizabeth Taylor joined forces in the fight against AIDS. In the early 1980s, the country was in the darkest days of the AIDS pandemic, and two women decided to do something about it by forming America’s first AIDS research foundation, thereby changing the course of history. The screening will be followed by an extended Q&A. In Person: Directors Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman.
