  Youth Program: Intergenerational World AIDS Day Event

  6:00pm – 9:00pm

  Building Bridges, Breaking Stigma": An Intergenerational World AIDS Day Event:

  Join us at Dave Barber Cinematheque on Monday, December 11th from 6:00p.m. to 9:00p.m. for a screening of the groundbreaking documentary film "How to Survive a Plague" (dir. David France) followed by a community panel discussion about HIV/AIDS in the present & past in honour of World AIDS Day (12/1).

  This description of the film comes from the International Film Commission: "HOW TO SURVIVE A PLAGUE is the story of the brave young [people] who successfully reversed the tide of an epidemic, demanded the attention of a fearful nation and stopped AIDS from becoming a death sentence. This improbable group of activists bucked oppression and, with no scientific training, infiltrated government agencies and the pharmaceutical industry, helping to identify promising new medication and treatments and move them through trials and into drugstores in record time. In the process, they saved their own lives and ended the darkest days of a veritable plague, while virtually emptying AIDS wards in American hospitals in the process. The powerful story of their fight is a classic tale of empowerment and activism that has since inspired movements for change in everything from breast cancer research to Occupy Wall Street. Their story stands as a powerful inspiration to future generations, a road map, and a call to arms. This is how you change the world."

  The film has content, imagery and language that some viewers may find upsetting, and discretion is advised. There will be a Rainbow Resource Centre Counsellor (Tia) on site for debrief as needed.

  This event is public and open to all, and some seats will be reserved for Over the Rainbow, Youth Program, and Nine Circles Living Advisory Committee members.

  Admission is free, all are welcome!
