"How to Survive a Plague"

Monday, Feb 4 7:00p
Civic Media Center Gainesville, FL

“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. Despite having no scientific training, these self-made activists infiltrated the pharmaceutical industry and helped identify promising new drugs, moving them from experimental trials to patients in record time. The film includes a treasure trove of never-before-seen archival footage from the 1980s and '90s.
