Description 1 online resource (1 video file (93 min.)) : sound, color Summary An inspiring documentary about the birth and life of the AIDS activist movement from the perspective of the people in the trenches fighting the epidemic. Utilizing oral histories of members of ACT UP, as well as rare archival footage, the film depicts the efforts of ACT UP as it battles corporate greed, social indifference, and government neglect. The film takes the viewer through the planning and execution of a half dozen exhilarating major actions including Seize Control of the FDA, Stop the Church, and Day of Desperation, with a timeline of many of the other actions that forced the U.S. government and mainstream media to deal with the AIDS crisis. UNITED IN ANGER reveals the group's complex culture - meetings, affinity groups, and approaches to civil disobedience mingle with profound grief, sexiness, and the incredible energy of ACT UP Notes "Much of the footage was made available by the AIDS Activist Video Collection in the Division of Manuscripts and Archives of the New York Public Library. This film would not be possible without the ACT UP Oral History Project."--Credits Originally produced released as a documentary film in 2012 Credits Edited by Ali Cotterill ; additional editing, James Wentzy, Jim Hubbard ; director of photography, James Wentzy Performer With Ann Philbin, Ken Bing, Frank Jump, Ron Goldberg, Gregg Bordowitz, Ann Northrop, Avram Finkelstein, Michael Petrelis, Herb Spiers, Jim Eigo, Eric Sawyer, Peter Staley, Gerri Wells, Bill Dobbs, Maxine Wolfe, Moises Agosto, Vito Russo and others Notes DVD videodisc version record; title from title screen (viewed August 7, 2018) Subject ACT UP (Organization) -- History ACT UP New York (Organization) -- History SUBJECT ACT UP New York (Organization) fast ACT UP (Organization) fast Subject AIDS (Disease) -- Prevention -- Social aspects -- United States AIDS (Disease) -- Prevention -- Political aspects -- United States AIDS (Disease) -- Political aspects AIDS activists -- United States AIDS activists AIDS (Disease) -- Political aspects United States Genre/Form documentary film.
