Synopsis

An improbable group of activists reversed the tide of an epidemic, stopping AIDS from becoming a death sentence. They infiltrated government agencies and the pharmaceutical industry, identifying new medication and treatment to save their own lives and end the darkest days of a veritable plague.

MUBI's take

With great immediacy in its first-hand accounts and an incisive use of archival footage, this Academy Award-nominated documentary dives deep into one of the most tortured yet tide-turning moments in recent American history. A remarkable portrait on the potentiality of significant social change.
