How to Survive a Plague

The film tells the story of two pioneering coalitions, ACT UP and TAG, that boldly challenged the status quo in the fight against AIDS, combining activism and innovation to turn a deadly disease into a manageable condition.

The early AIDS epidemic was a death sentence for marginalized communities, including the LGBT ones, which were often deemed deserving of the disease. Against all odds, militant activists like ACT-UP and TAG fought for a meaningful response to the crisis, defying political indifference, religious hostility, corporate greed, and biased research priorities.
