The Event (2003)
Manhattan prosecutor Nick is charged with looking into the untimely death of city resident Matt, a musician who had AIDS. As she questions Matt's loyal family members — mother Lila and sister Dana — she comes to learn that his closest pal, health-care worker Brian, is an ardent believer in assisted suicide and that he threw Matt a big party before his death. This presents a dilemma for the humane but dutiful Nick.
🏳️🌈 Thom Fitzgerald's ensemble drama explicitly incorporates an intersectional queer coming-of-age matrix, tracking a high-profile investigation that uncovers a supportive neighborhood network of gay friends.
