About Cashing Out Cashing Out is a 40-minute documentary from GLAAD Award–nominated filmmaker Matt Nadel, executive produced by Matt Bomer, Angeria Paris VanMicheals, and Oscar®-nominated Julie Cohen. Premiering on The New Yorker platforms, the Oscar®-qualified film explores the untold story of the viatical settlement industry during the AIDS crisis, when thousands of queer people sold their life insurance policies for survival. Produced in partnership with the National AIDS Memorial and supported by the Life Insurance Settlement Association, the documentary underscores the fragility of progress in health equity and the power of storytelling to preserve queer history.
