 Synopsis:
Explores the life of Richard Berkowitz, a revolutionary
gay S&M- hustler-turned-AIDS activist in the 1980s, whose
incomparable contribution to the invention of safe sex has
never been aptly credited. Berkowitz emerged from the
epicenter of the epidemic as a community leader, demanding
a solution to the problem before anyone else would pay
attention. However, it was not Berkowitz’ voice alone that
sparked contention. Dr. Joseph Sonnabend, a controversial
virologist and AIDS doctor, postulated that AIDS was more
complicated than just a new virus. With Sonnabend’s theory
in tow, Berkowitz fought, alongside beloved activist and
musician Michael Callen, for safer sex practices without
giving up on sex altogether.
