Synopsis
The National AIDS Memorial Grove in San Francisco was created as a peaceful place for people grieving the loss of loved ones to AIDS and is one of only 44 national memorials in the United States. The Grove gained national attention in 1996 when Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi pushed for it to receive national memorial status, provoking public debate about the purpose of the seven-acre sanctuary: AIDS activists argued that the Grove's serene atmosphere masked the seriousness of the disease and fought for the addition of a provocative installation. This documentary traces the history of The Grove, which has been tucked into a hidden spot of Golden Gate Park for over 20 years.
