Positive is a 1990 documentary film directed, written and produced by Rosa von Praunheim (in cooperation with Phil Zwickler). The film received international resonance. [1]
Positive is about how the gay community in New York City and its activists deal with the AIDS crisis. The film's protagonists include Larry Kramer and Diamanda Galás. [2]
Positive is the first part of Rosa von Praunheim's AIDS-Trilogy.
The Guardian wrote in 1992: "Silence = Death and Positive: The best AIDS films to date [...]." [4] The Los Angeles Times summed it up: "In short, Praunheim is just the man for the job he has taken on with Silence = Death and Positive: he has the breadth of vision, the compassion and the militance and, yes, the sense of humor necessary to tackle the AIDS epidemic in all its aspects." [5]
