After 82: The Documentary presents the history of the HIV epidemic in the UK in the 1980s and we at BFE are beyond fortunate to have been granted an hour with the directors, Steve Keeble and Ben Lord, and two of the participants, Jonathan Banks and Patrick Lyster Todd.  In a move unusual for this podcast, we take a backseat and let those involved in the film explain the motivation, process, and legacy of the documentary - including the impact it had on the recent Russell T Davies series, It's A Sin.

After 82 is readily available and definitely deserves both your time and attention.  You can find the full range of platforms the documentary is available on at https://www.after82movie.com/download-after-82
