I got the chance to see AIDS activism wow a crowd at the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah, during the premiere of HOW TO SURVIVE A PLAGUE on Sunday. Seeing it on a big screen kinda blew my mind, and judging by audience response, I wasn't alone.

In December, 2008, David France came over to my Brooklyn apartment and told me about his dream of making a documentary that honored the history he witnessed of AIDS treatment activism in the late 80's and early 90's. From the heady-optimism of ACT UP's Treatment & Data Committee, to the painful split of ACT UP & TAG just as the plague years were at their worst in the U.S., and finally to the remarkable research breakthroughs that made the death rate decline by 70%.

This seems to be the year of the AIDS documentary. It's about time. I'm still shocked by how many twenty-somethings have never heard of ACT UP. We can't let this remarkable history slip away.
