free film: "How to Survive a Plague"
Monday, Dec. 1st, 2014 / 6:30pm,
Channing Murray Foundation / 1209 W. Oregon St. Urbana, IL 61801
Free and open to the public.  Light refreshments will be served.

In honor of Worlds Aids Day, Channing Murray Foundation will be screening
How To Survive a Plague. HOW TO SURVIVE A PLAGUE is the 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.
Despite having no scientific training, these self-made activists
infiltrated the pharmaceutical industry and helped identify promising new
drugs, moving them from experimental trials to patients in record time.
With unfettered access to a treasure trove of never-before-seen archival
footage from the 1980s and '90s, filmmaker David France puts the viewer
smack in the middle of the controversial actions, the heated meetings, the
heartbreaking failures, and the exultant breakthroughs of heroes in the
making.

A facilitated discussion will follow the screening.
