This intimate portrait of actor Rock Hudson celebrates his enduring legacy as a Hollywood icon who helped change the public perception of AIDS, forcing the world to sit up and pay attention to a disease too long ignored and stigmatised. Rock Hudson: All That Heaven Allowed explores the story of a man living a double life — one whose public persona was carefully manufactured by his handlers and orchestrated by a studio system which feared the potential career-ending discovery that he was privately living as a gay man. Through a combination of intimate interviews and exclusive archive material, this feature explores both the myth and the truth of Rock’s incredible, tragic yet inspiring journey.
