***How to Survive a Plague* is an** American documentary film made in 2012 about the early years of the AIDS epidemic, and the efforts of ACT UP and TAG.

It is directed by David France, a journalist who covered AIDS from its beginnings. For France it was his first film and he dedicated it to his partner, who died of AIDS-related pneumonia in 1992.

The documentary was produced using more than 700 hours of archived footage which included news coverage, interviews as well as film of demonstrations, meetings and conferences taken by ACT UP members themselves and includes footage of a demonstration during mass at St. Patrick’s Cathedral in 1989.\[2\]
