Description
A photograph from the documentary "Positive Motion" which follows a unique HIV/AIDS dance group in San Francisco led by pioneering dancer Anna Halprin. It shows a group of men with AIDS or HIV-infection using their condition as a resource for creative expression. The film follows seven months of the group's emotionally-charged workshops, culminating in a poignant performance of a work titled "Carry Me Home." (https://openeyepictures.com/positive-motion-1)
