Keep the Cameras Rolling:
The Pedro Zamora Way
To borrow the slogan of MTV’s The Real World, this is the true story—
the true story of a pandemic; politics; misunderstanding and prejudice; the impact of the media; and, most importantly, AIDS activist Pedro Zamora, his life, his joy, and his influence, as told by people who knew and loved him, and by those who witnessed the strength of his commitment and its impact. Pedro refused to give in to the disease he knew would kill him, demanding throughout his decline and hospitalization that MTV “keep the cameras rolling.” While he died on November 11, 1994 at the young age of 22, his insistence on his way with bravery, humanity, and love truly changed the world. ...this is the true story—the true story of AIDS activist Pedro Zamora’s way.
