Potent filmmaking about the power of political rage, How to Survive a Plague is among the definitive documentaries about the HIV/AIDS crisis. Like other strong works We Were Here and Common Threads: Stories from the Quilt, this narrows its focuses, showing the arc of ACT-UP as the death toll increases and anger builds. Their proactive approach to advancing medicine and increasing access to drugs is moving on its face, but tight editing and devastating sound bites makes this terse, engaging and impactful.
