How To Survive a Plague“Global Watch: Crisis, Culture and Human Rights 2012” "A model for the here and now of how social change occurs." (New York Times) To be HIV-positive in the late 1980s was to be facing a death sentence. But a group of determined young people used nonviolent civil disobedience and grassroots participatory democracy to battle bigotry and neglect. They also helped identify promising new treatments and move them through trials and into drugstores in record time. In compelling detail, this meticulous documentary puts us smack in the middle of the emotional, inspirational story of the movement that turned AIDS into a manageable condition. David France. 2012. 120 m. NR. US. IFC Films. 2:30 PM 5:00 PM |

Inspired by and structured around Beethoven's Opus 131 String Quartet in C-sharp minor, the film pays homage to chamber music and the cultural world of New York and stars Philip Seymour Hoffman, Catherine Keener and Christopher Walken.
