How to Survive a Plague is the story of two coalitions-ACT UP and TAG (Treatment Action Group)-whose activism and innovation turned AIDS from a death sentence into a manageable condition. Despite having no scientific training, these self-made activists infiltrated the pharmaceutical industry and helped identify promising new drugs, moving them from experimental trials to patients in record time. With unfettered access to a treasure trove of never-before-seen archival footage from the 1980s and '90s, filmmaker David France puts the viewer smack in the middle of the controversial actions, the heated meetings, the heartbreaking failures, and the exultant breakthroughs of heroes in the making. -- (C) Official Site

Review For How to Survive a Plague

It can't be long before we see the Hollywood version.
Cath Clarke-Time Out

David France has made an absorbing film to document that moment of immense implosion, called How to Survive a Plague.
Stanley Kauffmann-The New Republic

As this stirring, scrupulous doc reveals, the members of ACT UP fused the fervor of revolutionaries, the tenacity of trial lawyers, and the rage of the dispossessed to change the very shape of the epidemic.
Owen Gleiberman-Entertainment Weekly

From a terrible epidemic comes a beautiful documentary.
Michael Phillips-Chicago Tribune

A raw history, often cluttered and sometimes repetitive but, when strategies fail along with immune systems, deeply affecting.
Rick Groen-Globe and Mail

Presents a valuable template for how grassroots activism can temper societal prejudice and challenge governmental indifference in the face of a mysterious and remorseless killer.
Bruce Demara-Toronto Star

A compellingly watchable portrait of a battle fought under that most memorable rallying cry: "Silence = Death". Bravo.
Mark Kermode-Observer [UK]

I don't doubt that anyone who has had a brush with AIDS, lost a friend or even a hero like Queen's Freddie Mercury, will find what is already a socially curious, medically fascinating and politically charged film an unmissably emotional experience.
Graham Young-Birmingham Mail

This inspirational, unexpectedly hilarious film is a patchwork of archival footage that takes us up to the present day.
Charlotte O'Sullivan-This is London

Nominated for the Oscar, this documentary is one of the most involving and moving films you'll see all year. At its core this is a movie about how a decent society should behave, even to the point of helping people who hurt themselves.
Rich Cline-Contactmusic.com

This documentary by David France persuasively argues that one of the greatest grassroots activist campaigns of modern times was the Act Up movement ...
Peter Bradshaw-Guardian [UK]

David France's documentary about the 1980s/90s American gay community and its leading role in discovering "combination therapy" - the anti-HIV magic bullet - will be inspiring among audiences from the G20.
Nigel Andrews-Financial Times

Well-made and featuring an astonishing amount of on-the-scene archive footage, this is a powerfully emotional and hugely inspirational documentary that demands to be seen.
Matthew Turner-ViewLondon

This raw and passionate AIDS treatment doc suffers from a simple lack of focus.
Sophie Monks Kaufman-Little White Lies

It's no whitewash: important activists from the era admit how much time was lost through internecine squabbling, as well as the struggles they faced against the pitiless anti-gay rhetoric of their political opponents.
-Daily Telegraph

A moving treatment of a deeply personal subject (France's own partner died of an AIDS-related illness in 1992), and an enthralling depiction of a seriously fired-up popular movement.
David Parkinson-Empire Magazine

An important, moving doc about how LGBT activism taught a community to shun silence.
Jamie Russell-Total Film

An indispensable and moving piece of filmmaking.
Niki Boyle-The List

[A] glorious ode to the supposition that a small group of committed people can change the world...
MaryAnn Johanson-Flick Filosopher

Plague offers an instructive lesson for Occupy-era rabble-rousers: Only when coupled with a knowledge base will your sound and fury signify anything.
A.A. Dowd-Time Out Chicago

The film is a tribute to political activism and the power of people to change the world.
Robert Roten-Laramie Movie Scope

One of the most powerful, fascinating and saddest documentaries of the last several years.
Stephen Silver-EntertainmentTell
