DESCRIPTION:Film Showing Thursday May 18th, 7pm   - "How to Survive a Plague"  \n 
 Academy Award Nominee for Best Documentary, 2013 directed by David 
 France\n\nThis gripping film is the story of the fight by determined 
 people, many of them HIV-positive young men, who refused to stand by or 
 wait for the government to do something when people were dying of AIDS.  
 It's the story of ACT UP (AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power) and TAG 
 (Treatment Action Group).\n\nThey courageously took on Washington and the 
 medical establishment, fighting with audaciousness and bold actions which 
 shook up and changed things.\n\n"The currents of rage, fear, fiery 
 determination and finally triumph that crackle through David France's 
 inspiring documentary, "How to Survive a Plague," lend this history of the 
 AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power a scorching electrical charge." - Stephen 
 Holden, New York Times \n \n"Riveting...moving and essential." - Bruce 
 Diones, The New Yorker\n \nThere is much to learn from their example for 
 today, now that we're up against a fascist regime that has to be driven out 
 of power. Watch the film and stay for the discussion.\n
