Personally: Forever is a Long TimeAuthor: CBC
In a moment of fate in 2017, Dane is gifted a bundle of old love letters and theatrical scripts. They were written by a man named Daryl Allen in the years before AIDS took his life in 1991. Daryl was a bisexual man and amateur playwright who lived in San Francisco through the 70s and 80s. Along with the letters, Dane is given a task: tell Daryls story and give his theatrical work the audience it lost when his life was cut short by HIV.Over the next five years, Dane settles into the role of detective, using Daryls letters to track down his exes, his old friends, and his relatives. Dane is taken from Montreal to San Francisco,from small-town Kansas to the Vietnam War. As his investigation unfolds, Dane discovers striking similarities between himself and Daryl, raising questions about how the AIDS crisis shaped todays queer communities and launching a dialogue between generations.Part investigation, part historical documentary, and part love story, Resurrection asks us whatwe leave behind when we go.
