    A New York Times 2016 Notable Book The definitive history of the successful battle to halt the AIDS epidemic - from the creator of, and inspired by, the seminal documentary How to Survive a Plague. A riveting, powerful telling of the story of the grassroots movement of activists, many of them in a life-or-death struggle, who seized upon scientific research to help develop the drugs that turned HIV from a mostly fatal infection to a manageable disease. Ignored by public officials, religious leaders, and the nation at large, and confronted with shame and hatred, this small group of men and women chose to fight for their right to live by educating themselves and demanding to become full partners in the race for effective treatments. Around the globe, 16 million people are alive today thanks to their efforts. Not since the publication of Randy Shilts' classic And the Band Played On has a book measured the AIDS plague in such brutally human, intimate, and soaring terms. In dramatic fashion, we witness the founding of ACT UP and TAG (Treatment Action Group) and the rise of an underground drug market in opposition to the prohibitively expensive (and sometimes toxic) AZT. We watch as these activists learn to become their own researchers, lobbyists, drug smugglers, and clinicians, establishing their own newspapers, research journals, and laboratories, and as they go on to force reform in the nation's disease-fighting agencies. With his unparalleled access to this community, David France illuminates the lives of extraordinary characters, including the closeted Wall Street trader turned activist, the high school dropout who found purpose battling pharmaceutical giants in New York, the South African physician who helped establish the first officially recognized buyers' club at the height of the epidemic, and the public relations executive fighting to save his own life for the sake of his young daugh ungekürzt.

    (LP) Arnaud Rebotinis (Black Strobe) Soundtrack zum Grand Prix du Festival Cannes-Gewinner. Incl Remix von Smalltown Boy (Bronski Beat). Deutscher Filmstart 30.11.17Ein Portrait der ACT UP Aktivisten-Gruppe in Paris zu Beginn der 1990er Jahre. Es ist die Zeit des Mobilisierens gegen die Gleichgültigkeit des Volkes. Der Film lief im Wettbewerb der Filmfestspiele von Cannes und gewann vier Preise und den Grand Prix. House Music feierte seinen großen Durchbruch im Jahre 1987, zum selben Zeitpunkt erreichte AIDS bei den französischen Homosexuellen und in der Drogenszene den ersten Kontaminations-Peak. Die Aktivisten von Act-Up Paris dachten den Kampf gegen AIDS und den Triumph von House zusammen. Der Soundtrack von Frankreichs Techno-Held Rebotini, der mit Black Strobe weltbekannt wurde, spiegelt diesen Gedanken perfekt und glänzt mit dem Remix von Bronski Beats Hymne Smalltown Boy. Filmstart am 30.11. bundesweit zum Welt-AIDS-Tag. Der Film wird auf der Filmmesse in Leipzig (25.-28.9.) der Branche vorgestellt.
