Description

Peter Staley was a 24-year-old closeted bond trader in New York City when he was diagnosed with HIV. Having been handed a death sentence, he quit his job and devoted whatever life he had left to fighting against the homophobic Reagan and Bush administrations that were letting him and his friends die. When lifesaving drugs became available (largely thanks to his work), Peter realized he was going to live — which left him with more questions than answers.
