ABOUT THE FILM
Hailed by the New York Times as “a model for the here and now of how social change occurs”, the film is on the top 10 lists of over twenty major publications across the nation earning 12 nominations and seven wins during the 2012-2013 film season, including a nomination for Best Documentary Feature at the 85th Academy Awards®, as well as winner of a 2013 Peabody Award and two 2014 Emmy Award® nominations.
"How to Survive a Plague" is the story of two coalitions -- ACT UP and TAG (Treatment Action Group) -- whose activism and innovation turned AIDS from a death sentence into a manageable condition. Director France puts the viewer smack in the middle of the controversial actions, the heated meetings, the heartbreaking failures, and the exultant breakthrough of heroes in the making.
