I learned what activism is after reading “United in Anger” and seeing the movie. It is when you have a movement for a cause to bring about legal or social change. Making other people listen to you has a lot to do with activism. A group called “Act Up” from the movie “United In Anger” hoped for social change, just like the majority of us want. This group fought for justice on their behalf. People with HIV/AIDS and other serious medical problems are protected under these rights. Some of these patients were unable to pay for their medications or medical care. This organization made a reference in the movie that these individuals deserve help, such as health insurance, as they pass away from this illness. I learned from this movie that activists struggle for what they desire. I’ve also come to see that activism serves everyone in society, regardless of anyone’s personal motivations. This proves to me that there are good people in the world.
