‘How to Survive a Plague’ comes to Halifax

The Oscar-nominated documentary “How to Survive a Plague” is coming to Halifax for a one-night screening, thanks to Carbon Arc Cinema.

The film tells the story of ACT UP (AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power), an activist group based out of New York that looked to change public policy and perceptions around HIV and AIDS. The Hollywood Reporter recently posted that ABC is looking to create a miniseries based on the documentary. Check out Xtra’s Tony Correia’s review of the film.

The screening will take place on Friday, March 15 at the Museum of Natural History, 1747 Summer St. You can grab your tickets at the door or online at Carbon Arc’s website.
