POSITIVE: Community Reflection Group

Spaces are limited, so sign up early to avoid disappointment! Please note that we ask attendees to commit to attending all 3 sessions to help develop continuity in our discussions.

Positive, the Sky Original docu-series uses intimate testimony from some of the earliest HIV patients and real-life heroes, to those affected more recently, to tell the tragedies and triumphs of Britain’s 40-year battle with HIV. Through Positive, audiences will witness the making of modern Britain.

LGBT Foundation have been given exclusive early access to all three episodes, and will be hosting a reflection group for the LGBTQ+ community to watch and discuss, together. Attendees will explore themes and topics of the series; as well as the history and impact of the AIDS epidemic.
