Eye of the Tiger: How To Survive A Plague

Watching the new and highly-acclaimed documentary How To Survive a Plague was very strange for me. I think that’s because the film’s story — the fierce battle against the AIDS epidemic that was fought in the late 1980s and early 90s by AIDS Coalition To Unleash Power (ACT UP) and its offshoot the Treatment Action Group (TAG) — is my story.

Amazing how he fails to mention his own shameful role in this film, or this history.

Larry Kramer added a comment : “What is this evil man up to as he approaches his death? Is he trying to make up to us? National Medals of Freedom from the White House! Would these provide a big enough enema to clean out his rotten insides? …”

Twenty-seven people participated in this morning’s How To Survive A Plague Meet-Up.  Great dialogue on advocacy, systemic change, and honoring the past with forward movement. The session ended with a commitment from the group: “The world is watching  and this is what they will see, that we are greater than AIDS.”
