ABOUT THE FILM:

An intimate portrait of Rock Hudson, an icon of Hollywood’s Golden Age, whose death from AIDS in 1985 shocked the world and forced a shift in public perception of the pandemic. The film examines not only his cinematic and cultural legacy, but takes a rare and sometimes heartbreaking look at his private life through interviews with close friends and former lovers.
