Fight Back, Fight AIDS: 15 Years of ACT UP

Over the span of its 15-year history, ACT UP (the AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power) has helped to transform the world's consciousness about HIV and AIDS, and made activism a vital part of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgendered and AIDS political landscape. Comprehensively documented by media activists and video collectives, the bold strategies, media savvy, and decidedly queer wit of ACT UP remains a fresh source of inspiration to today's artists and activists through the invaluable trove of images sampled in this dynamic program of AIDS activist video. 2002 USA 75 English Transcription available at http://www.actupny.org/divatv/Synopsis_Detailed.pdf .
