In 1981, AIDS emerged in New York as an unprecedented immune system deficiency disease. Because it occurs concentratedly among gay men, it was also called "gay disease" at the time. Nedis a radical gay writer. When he watched the deaths of friends and the inaction of the government, he was outraged and launched the Gay Health Crisis Organization, calling on the government and the public to be concerned about the upcoming outbreak. Pay attention to the great plague. The paralyzed female doctor Emmais one of the few medical staff who has been highly alert to the AIDS epidemic from the beginning, and is also an important heterosexual ally of Ned. During the campaign, Ned met the New York Times reporter Phoenix, and the two fell in love with each other in full swing. However, Phoenix was eventually diagnosed with infection, and the grieving Ned had only his love and career fighting on two fronts. Although Bruce, the chairman of the Health Crisis Group, is Ned's best friend, his acting style is completely opposite to the aggressive Ned. Executive Director Tommyhas been trying to balance the two, but unable to resolve the growing differences, a break is imminent

There is really no point, it's piecemeal, although the performance is really good.

Such a subject could have done well, like Dallas, but this one is obviously too messy. Most of the time it's sensational and ranting, leaving little room to tell the story well. Of course the actor sacrificed a lot. Movies about the history of the same period can try the documentary "Plague Survival Guide"

Dr. Emma Brookner: I am taking care of more victims of this disease than anyone in the world. We have more frozen blood samples, more data of every kind, and much more experience.
Examining Doctor: Dr. Brookner, the Government's position is this: there are five million dollars in the pipeline, for which we have received over fifty-five million dollars worth of requests.
Dr. Emma Brookner: Five million doesn't seem quite right for some two thousand cases. The Government spent three million investigating seven deaths from Tylenol. We're entering the third year!
Examining Doctor: We've voted to reject your application for funding.
Dr. Emma Brookner: Oh. I'd like to hear your reasons.
Examining Doctor: The direction of the research you're suggesting is imprecise and unfocused.
Dr. Emma Brookner: Oh, it is, is it? You don't know what's going on anymore than I do. Could you tell me, precisely, why you're blocking my efforts?
Examining Doctor: Dr. Brookner, there are now other investigators. This is no longer only your disease, though you seem to think it is.
Dr. Emma Brookner: Oh, I do, do I? And you're here to take it away from me, is that it? Well, I'll let you in on a little secret, Doctor: you can have it. I didn't want it in the first place. You think it's a privilege to watch young men die? What am I arguing with you for? You do not know enough to study boiled water! HOW DARE YOU COME DOWN HERE AND JUDGE ME?
Examining Doctor: We're only serving on this peer review panel at the behest of Dr. Murry.
Dr. Emma Brookner: Another idiot. And, by the way, a closeted homosexual doing everything in his power to sweep this under the rug. And I vowed I'd never say anything like that in public... How does it always happen that all of the idiots are always on your team? How can you refuse to fund my research? Or not invite me to participate in yours? Your National Institutes of Health received my first request for money two years ago. It took you one year just to print up application forms! It's taking you three years from my first reported case just to show up here for a look. And the paltry amount of money you are forcing us to beg for, out of the FOUR BILLION DOLLARS you now receive each and every year to protect the health of the American people, won't come to anyone before only God knows when. A promising virus has been discovered in France. Why do you refuse to cooperate with the French? Why are we told not to cooperate with the French? Just so you can steal a Nobel Prize? While something is being passed around that causes death! Women have been discovered to have it in Africa, where it is clearly transmitted HETERO-SEXUALLY. It is only a question of time! We could ALL be dead before you do anything! You want my data? You want my ideas? You want my patients? TAKE THEM! JUST DO SOMETHING WITH THEM! You're fucking right! I am imprecise and unfocused and you are all idiots!

Bruce Niles: You don't look THAT Jewish.
Ned Weeks: And you don't look gay, so I guess we can both pass for white people.
