OUR PACKED QUAD SCREENINGS
ACT UP activists Jeff Griglak, John Voelcker, Ron Goldberg, Steve Helmke, Amy Bauer, Joe Chiplock, Alexis Danzig, Luis Lopez-Detres at The Quad
Our run at The Quad in NYC last week was phenomenal! It was exhilarating to welcome huge crowds of old friends and new to the theater for five screenings a day. United in Anger impressed both seasoned and new activists that change can be made if we do it together.
Showing off our great press
Just in time for our run at The Quad we had great press in Variety, The New York Times, and Film Journal.

ACT UP activist Abby Tallmer wrote after she saw the film, “[United in Anger] was one of the most brilliant, well-edited, important, riveting, and moving documentaries I’ve ever seen bar none, and it does a masterful job of capturing the fury, the frustration, the terror, the overwhelming despair, and yes, even (at times) the exhilaration of those early AIDS years…”

We had fabulous Q&A’s each night with me and ACT UP activists Deb Levine, Ann Northrop, and Ron Goldberg.

Each Q&A produced the overwhelming sentiment that young people should see United in Anger to learn about LGBTQ history, the history of government indifference to marginalized people in the U.S., and how to sustain a social movement to change the world.
