2pm - 3:30pm (Doors 1:30pm)
Choose Life is a groundbreaking BBC Scotland documentary produced by Two Rivers Media. The film examines 1980s Edinburgh, during the decade the city had the unenviable title of ‘the AIDS capital of Europe’. Featuring interviews with some of the key community members caught up in the pandemic, Choose Life provides an informative and unflinching view of Edinburgh and Leith from a time that subsequently gave birth to its notorious Trainspotting reputation.
Members of the Two Rivers Media production team will be present for a Q&A after the film.
