World AIDS Day Screenings Of 'How To Survive A Plague'

Producers of How To Survive A Plague are encouraging community screenings of the film to coincide with World AIDS Day.

Director David France's documentary looks at the rise and success of HIV/AIDS advocacy groups ACT UP (AIDS Coalition To Unleash Power) and TAG (Treatment Action Group). The film first premiered at Sundance 2012.

The powerful movie pieces together archival footage to tell the story of two coalitions – ACT UP and TAG – “whose activism and innovation turned AIDS from a death sentence into a manageable condition.”

Producers are encouraging free campus and community screenings of the film to play the week of November 25 to December 2. A listing can be found at the film's website.

The 25^th annual World AIDS Day is December 1, 2012.

On Monday, December 3, France will participate in a Google+ hangout to discuss HIV/AIDS with online viewers.
