When the Dawn Comes dives into a really unique slice of activism in the 80s, focusing on Chi Chia-wei. I mean, here’s a guy who’s handing out condoms dressed as Snow White, Jesus, or even a mummy. It’s a fascinating mix of humor and urgency, capturing how he tackled AIDS awareness at a time when stigma ran rampant. The pacing feels reflective yet compelling, as it intertwines personal stories with broader social issues. The atmosphere is both somber and uplifting, showing the struggles and triumphs of a marginalized voice. The archival footage really adds depth, making it feel like a time capsule of that era’s fight against ignorance.
