A 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.

"I knew I would love this movie, but it took me a really long time to work up the nerve to sit down and watch it. If you have PTSD from participating in the George Floyd protests, I would recommend giving yourself space to heal and come back when you feel ready, because this one is rough."
