The film I chose to watch was “United in Anger,” I found this film to be very powerful and moving and the film also educated me on an issue I knew about but I was not very educated on. This film was about the aid epidemic and an advocacy group that goes by the name of ACT UP. The group ACT UP put up strong fights to make sure that people with Aids had health care, treatment, and overall had rights that they deserve. I found this movement to be very powerful because by protesting and never giving up hope they got their point across in situations that some thought it was impossible to fight for but those thoughts did not stop the group. I feel like ACT UP is a strong group of people that did not give up on what they believed they should have regardless of their illness. My final thought is that this advocacy group did its job by fighting against leaders that did not want to shed light on this epidemic. Today their work is being shown by having access to healthcare, treatment, and housing for people that have AIDS.
