Prairie Pride Film Festival 2023 | Saturday, October 14 - 4:00 p.m. | TOE TAG - Based on a true story, Toe Tag chronicles Sam Foster’s journey to seek the owner of a toe tag he discovers in the dunes of Fire Island. This discovery of the mysterious tags leads to him to grapple with the loss of a lover who succumbed to AIDS. Upon returning the tags, Sam connects with another mourning stranger and learns his own memories may be the key to understanding his own grief. (d. Michael Fisher | 2023 | drama short | 19 minutes) | COMMIMENT TO LIFE - Commitment to Life commemorates the history of organizing and community building in Los Angeles during the AIDS/HIV epidemic. Told through the lens of an intrepid group of doctors, movie stars, moguls, and activists living with AIDS/HIV, the film documents the crucial role of the people who actively changed the course of the epidemic. Still, the battle against a broken infrastructure and stigmatization, and the people of color disproportionately impacted, is both a reminder of our past and present and a stern warning for the future.
