United in Anger: A History of ACT UP is a feature-length documentary about how a small group of people called ACT UP (the AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power) came together to change the world and save each other’s lives. The film takes the viewer through the planning and execution of exhilarating major actions with additional information about these historic events that forced the US government and mainstream media to deal with the AIDS crisis. United in Anger reveals the group’s complex culture while also exploring the profound grief, sexiness, and incredible energy of ACT UP.
