The Battle of amfAR is a powerful documentary short film about the unlikely partnership between scientist Mathilde Krim and Elizabeth Taylor during the darkest early years of the AIDS crisis. Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman compress an enormous history into a remarkably focused account of science, celebrity and activism. Its greatest strength is showing how persistence and public visibility helped turn indifference into action.
