DESCRIPTION:Burn A Light Productions is proud to present 'The Ruth Brinker Story' in 
 association with San Francisco-based non-profit Project Open Hand. The 
 short documentary tells the story of the legendary AIDS Activist, Ruth 
 Brinker, and her legacy of healing people through meals with love in San 
 Francisco. Ruth's work led to Project Open Hand, one of the most important 
 organizations serving our communities today.\n\nAt the age of 63, retired 
 food-service worker Ruth Brinker became a pioneer of HIV care in her 
 community and would become a legend among San Franciscans. The AIDS 
 epidemic hit San Francisco the hardest and created a wave of fear and 
 uncertainty that left many victims feeling hopeless and alone. Brinker, a 
 woman whose deep compassion became a source of strength for others 
 struggling to cope with the times, began cooking meals in her kitchen to 
 deliver to her neighbors who were too ill to take care of 
 themselves.\n\nCome learn more about her story at the Castro Theatre. The 
 day will include multiple screenings of 'The Ruth Brinker Story' during the 
 day, followed by a special Red Carpet Premiere Night at 6PM that will 
 include a panel discussion featuring San Francisco resident and filmmaker, 
 Apo Bazidi. The cast of the film will also be in attendance.\n\nMay 22 is 
 Harvey Milk Day and screenings of “The Life and Times of Harvey Milk” 
 will also be shown so come celebrate the lives of these two very important 
 San Franciscans, Ruth Brinker and Harvey Milk.\n\nYou can visit the
