In 1984, a young man lay dying of a mysterious disease behind a sealed door in a hospital in Little Rock. No one understood the transmission or details of the disease that he had and most people feared even being in the same room as someone who had it. Then the door opened and a 24-year-old woman walked in. She wasn't a doctor or a nurse, not a researcher or a scientist. Her name was Ruth Coker Burks and this young man would be the first of thousands of AIDS patients that she cared for over the next several years.

This is the story of the more than 40 unclaimed gay men resting beneath Files Cemetery.
