This emotional movie tells about the lives of
AIDS activists in early 90s Paris. Its a bold and vivid story based on the
directors (Robin Campillo) own life experiences with ACT UP an international
direct action group whose aim was “to bring about legislation, medical research
and treatment and policies to ultimately bring an end to the disease by
mitigating loss of health and lives”
This ultimately is the story of survival, a
story of people they were condemned to death because of their sexually
preferences and a story of authorities, both political and medical, that had no
empathy towards what they saw as non Christian conformity. A brave story that may
be forced to shed a tear over.
