How to Survive a Plague, a documentary about the early years of the AIDS epidemic and the efforts of ACT UP and Treatment Action Group (TAG), will be showing at Duke’s at Komedia, Brighton on Sunday, November 10.
Despite having no scientific training, the self-made activists of ACT UP and TAG infiltrated the pharmaceutical industry and helped identify promising new drugs, moving them from experimental trials to patients in record time.
With unfettered access to never-before-seen archival footage from the 1980s and ’90s, filmmaker David France, who will also be present for a Q&A session, puts the viewer smack in the middle of the controversial actions, the heated meetings, the heartbreaking failures, and the exultant breakthroughs of heroes in the making.
Event: How to Survive a Plague
Where: Duke’s at Komedia, Brighton.
