Join us for a screening of How to Survive a Plague.
The story of the brave people of ACT UP (the AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power) and TAG (Treatment Action Group), who successfully reversed the tide of an epidemic, demanded the attention of a fearful nation, and stopped AIDS from becoming a death sentence. This improbable group of activists bucked oppression and infiltrated government agencies and the pharmaceutical industry, helping to identify promising new medication and treatments and move them through trials and into drugstores in record time. Directed by David France, a journalist who covered AIDS from its beginnings, this documentary was produced using over 700 hours of archived footage, including news coverage, interviews, and footage of demonstrations, meetings, and conferences filmed by the activists themselves.

This event is association with:  AIDS: A People's History of the Pandemic exhibit.
