SUMMARY:The Living End
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a community collaboration with Nebraska AIDS Project with the screening of what has been described by some critics as a “gay Thelma & Louise\,” followed by an important discussion! \nThe Living End\, directed by Gregg Araki\, follows two men living with HIV as they outrun the law. This deeply human comedy-drama shows the complexity of dealing with a crisis at a time when little to no hope was on the horizon. Visit with NAP Staff before the film and after\, join them for a dialogue about the past\, present\, and future of living with HIV and learn about Nebraska AIDS Project services. \nAbout the Moderator \nAndres Di Bernardo is an Omaha writer who doubles as a Prevention and Outreach Specialist at Nebraska AIDS Project. They use various mediums\, such as film\, prose\, and poetry\, to highlight social injustices with the goal of strengthening community bonds. \nAbout the Panelists \nTommy Young-Dennis\, born in Omaha\, Nebraska\, is a gay Black man\, LGBTQ+ advocate\, HIV activist\, and educator.
