One of the few newspapers to write, direct and produce a feature-length documentary, the San Francisco Chronicle, Northern California's largest newspaper, will debut its first film, 'Last Men Standing,' on Friday, April 8 at the Castro Theatre. The documentary, which follows the lives and experiences of eight long-term AIDS survivors, is part of a larger special report featuring interactive digital and print features by Chronicle reporter Erin Allday.

Erin Allday spent 10 months interviewing more than 50 men who have lived with HIV/AIDS for half of their lives, as well as doctors, activists, city officials and LGBT allies. She worked with videographers Erin Brethauer and Tim Hussin to document the experience of eight men. These survivors reflect the struggles taking place across San Francisco and the country as survivors continue fighting for their lives.

'The documentary is a really amazing companion piece to the story that I did,' said Chronicle reporter Erin Allday. 'I'm able to dive deep and tell in a lot of detail what these guys are dealing with, what they've been through and what needs to be done. Erin and Tim really capture the emotion and intimacy of these stories in a way that's limited in print.'
