How to Survive a Plague: Documentary Film Screening

Seminar Informal Curriculum Event

This seminal documentary recounts how 1980s AIDS activists battled widespread hostility and indifference to the AIDS crisis, to bring attention to the disease and fuel the search for a cure. The documentary is a compelling portrait of the power of community to mobilize national change; and it offers invaluable context for understanding Angels in America. The screening will be followed by small-group discussion.
