Subject
AIDS Activism, Documentary, ACT UP
Description
This tape was most likely given to me by its makers Jim Hubbard and Sarah Schulman, most likely when they came to Pitzer College, where I was teaching at the time, to screen it. I have collaborated with them often, and they have collaborated together even more often than that, most notably as the organizers of the ACT UP Oral History Project from which the film was borne. Sarah's recent book on the history of ACT UP, Let the Record Show, is a go to resource for students of AIDS activism. Meanwhile, Jim continues to make experimental work drawing out this history aesthetically and personally.
I can not find this tape, and am concerned that it was stolen or lost, but you can see this important documentary elsewhere online.

Abstract
United in Anger: A History of ACT UP is 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.
