The film not only shows the horrors and fears of the time, but also the great strength and courage that comes from a community rallying together to get through tough times.<\/p>\n<p>The film is currently rated at 100% fresh at Rotten Tomatoes. &#8220;It&#8217;s nice,&#8221; said Weissman of the honor. &#8220;I keep checking to see if it&#8217;s changed and it never changes. It&#8217;s hugely gratifying.&#8221; He also said he&#8217;s happy to see that audiences of all ages and sexual preferences are resonating with the film. <\/p>\n<p>Because young people are viewing the film, Weissman hopes the film will show young adults, particularly young GLBT adults, the history that precedes them. &#8220;Young people take for granted the dangers of AIDS because it&#8217;s not always on the news and there are treatments that are working,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I want them to see how we got to where we are today, the sacrifices that were made. It is similar to the Civil Rights movement; the pioneers don&#8217;t want everything they fought for to be forgotten or taken for granted. It&#8217;s a remarkable piece of history.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>You can learn more about the film at <a href=\"http:\/\/wewereherefilm.com\/\" target=\"blank\">wewereherefilm.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/we-were-here-joshua-radin.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/we-were-here-joshua-radin.jpg\" alt=\"we were here\" title=\"we were here\" width=\"453\" height=\"450\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-77161\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/we-were-here-joshua-radin.jpg 453w, https:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/we-were-here-joshua-radin-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/we-were-here-joshua-radin-300x298.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 453px) 100vw, 453px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>David Weissman feels that as a person who was living in San Francisco during the early 1980s AIDS epidemic, he has a mission. &#8220;It&#8217;s the obligation of people like me who lived through that time to tell their story,&#8221; he said.
