ME, and Mr. MAURI: Turning Poison into Medicine, a video screening of a documentary that tells the stories of SF Bay Area Queer Latina/o activists who died of SIDA/AIDS during the years 1988 to the present. This hybrid work-in-progress portrays
the fight with and eventual succumbing to SIDA/AIDS of Mauricio Delgado, John Juarez, Margarita Benitez, Francisco X. Zamora, Rodrigo Reyes, and Chente Valenzuela.
ME, and Mr. MAURI is richly polyphonic also in its formal components, the use of hybrid media and artistic genres such as photographs, animation, poetry, altares, music and dancing. This urgent film is an act of love, an ofrenda to all rainbow folks, a reflection on the role in maintaining our health and wellness, a love song to our dead, and a giving thanks to, as Osa puts it in the film "this bouquet of life opening again and again and again."
