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 Movie How to Survive a Plague
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.

Dennis Schwartz-Ozus' World Movie Reviews Beautifully inspiring and, obviously, also a great cautionary tale.
Richard Knight-Knight at the Movies A riveting look at LGBT protesters during the AIDS crisis - and an object lesson that if the revolution is going to be televised, it's good to have the revolutionaries holding the cameras.
Sean Means-Salt Lake Tribune This is a moving documentary, as hopeful as it is tragic.
Mathew DeKinder-Suburban Journals of St. Louis The title doesn't necessarily convey this, but "How to Survive a Plague" is an inspiring and hopeful documentary.
