Film Overview
The AIDS crisis is powerfully personalized as the life and contributins of one victim are celebrated in CHUCK SOLOMON: COMING OF AGE. This moving film intimately focuses on Solomon's gala 40th birthday party with over 350 friends and relatives. Lively footage of the enormous, flamboyant celebration is interspersed with clips of his theatre career as a director and performer in San Francisco's gay theatre and interviews with Solomon and his loved one. Tragedy is balanced with humor in this portrait of a courageous man, his community, and their strength to live with AIDS.
