Sex Positive documents the life of Richard Berkowitz, a gay hustler-turned-AIDS
activist. While other 1980s AIDS activists pushed for medical research and
government support, Berkowitz sent shock waves through the New York gay
community with his claim that the promiscuous gay lifestyle was to blame and
that gay men had to take personal responsibility for their actions. Despite
numerous public appearances and the publication of a groundbreaking book on safe
sex, his stance was considered too controversial, leading the community to
dismiss him as a self-hating gay man. Nearly 30 years later, director Daryl Wein
uses archival footage (much of it from Berkowitz's own collection) and
interviews to capture the untold story of the history of safe sex.
