United in Anger: A History of ACT UP
UNITED IN ANGER: A HISTORY OF ACT UP, directed by Jim Hubbard, premiered last night at MOMA and opened the annual Documentary Fortnight series. Perfectly timed for last year’s 30th anniversary of AIDS, and this year’s 25th anniversary of ACT UP, the film tells the story of the legendary activist group who fought tirelessly to change government definitions of AIDS, force scientists and the government to excel their development of life-saving drugs, and change the public perception of AIDS from a gay-disease to one that affected us all.
