Voices from the Front is an American documentary film, released in 1991. [1] Directed by Robyn Hutt, Sandra Elgear and David Meieran, the film is a portrait of the activism in the late 1980s around the HIV/AIDS crisis, including the work of organizations such as ACT UP and Queer Nation, [2] and individuals such as Larry Kramer, Vito Russo and Peter Staley.

The film premiered at the WorldFest-Houston International Film Festival in 1991 and was subsequently screened at film festivals including the 1991 Frameline Film Festival [3] and the 42nd Berlin International Film Festival in 1992, before going into commercial release in June 1992. [4]

At Berlin the film won the Teddy Award for best LGBTQ-related documentary film. [5]
