Over Our Dead Bodies

About This Movie

Over Our Dead Bodies is a raw, compelling documentary that captures the fierce activism surrounding the AIDS crisis in the late '80s and early '90s. With a gritty, no-nonsense tone, it dives into the struggles and triumphs of groups like ACT UP and Queer Nation. The pacing is urgent, mirroring the desperation and determination of the time. It’s not polished but rather a direct reflection of its era, showcasing real interviews and on-the-ground activism. The film stands out for its commitment to keeping the dialogue around AIDS alive and unfiltered, making it a key piece for anyone interested in LGBTQ+ history and activism.

This documentary has seen limited format releases, making it somewhat scarce for collectors. It’s often found on VHS, with few later reissues, which adds a layer of interest for those focused on preservation of LGBTQ+ history. The film’s rawness and commitment to activism have earned it a dedicated following, but it often flies under the radar compared to more mainstream releases from the same period.
