Eddie

Documentary subject, resident of Pryde

At the age of 67, Eddie has defied the odds as an HIV/AIDS survivor. He grew up in a Catholic family in Burlington,MA and spent decades in Boston’s Fenway neighborhood - once the center of Boston’s gay life, now with rents well beyond his reach. He compares getting a place at The Pryde to winning the lottery. “At one time in the Fenway, I knew every one of my neighbors. We knew each other and looked out for each other. And I have the same feeling here,” said Eddie, “that I’m part of something bigger.”
