Zero patience - Wendy Gay Pearson

Zero Patience, one of three new Queer Film Classics to be published in late 2011, considers the camp 1993 film musical about the AIDS crisis. The film examines and refutes the urban legend of the alleged introduction of HIV to North America by a single individual, Gaetan Dugas. Dugas, better known as Patient Zero, was tagged in the popular imagination with the blame in large measure because of Randy Shilts' history of the early days of the AIDS epidemic. Considered one of the first and most queer films on AIDS, Zero Patience provides an invaluable companion.
