From Darkness to Light: A Film About AIDS Care

The film From Darkness to Light captures the voices of patients and caregivers at the forefront of the HIV/AIDS crisis, highlighting the groundbreaking care provided by the Peter Krueger Clinic.

The Clinic, one of the first HIV/AIDS clinics in the United States, was established at Beth Israel Medical Center, now Mount Sinai Beth Israel, in 1989. Started during the height of the epidemic in New York City, the Peter Krueger Clinic boldly stood against the stigma of the disease and served as a beacon of hope and a model of care for those New Yorkers diagnosed with HIV/AIDS. This film tracks the clinic’s origins and its impact over the last three decades, as told by the patients and staff that have called it home.

The work of the clinic continues today as a part of the Institute for Advanced Medicine at Mount Sinai.
