Nominated for an Academy Award® for Best Documentary and featured on over 15 top-ten Iists, HOW TO SURVlVE A PLAGUE is the story of the brave young men and women who successfuIIy reversed the tide of an epidemic, demanded the attention of a fearfuI nation, and stopped AIDS from becoming a death sentence. This improbabIe group of activists bucked oppression and infiItrated government agencies and the pharmaceuticaI industry, heIping to identify promising new medication and treatments and move them through trials and into drugstores in record time. In the process, they saved their own lives and ended the darkest days of a veritabIe plague, while virtually emptying AIDS wards in American hospitals. Theirs is a cIassic tale of activism that has since inspired movements for change in everything from breast cancer research to Occupy Wall Street. |
