CGiii Comment
Part 1: Ted Kerr talks jargon-laden tedium. HIV doulas...what will they think of next!?! Someone should tell them about the Buddy program!
Part 2: Wanda Hernandez-Parks is rightfully angry. Homelessness should not exist.
Part 3: Kia LaBeija should be the subject of a longer film.

The documentary "A Place in the City" follows three activists to examine how HIV/AIDS plays out in the everyday lives of New Yorkers today and how community groups work to remake home as a space of caretaking, housing, and family. The film was originally featured in the Museum of the City of New York's 2017 exhibition, AIDS at Home: Art and Everyday Activism, which explored how artists and activists navigated the political stakes of domestic life in the face of the HIV/AIDS epidemic, from the early 1980s to the present.
