The end of the film, the sign that protestors put on balloons saying “MONEY FOR AIDS NOT FOR WAR” resonated with the current blm movement in that we’re protesting for the defunding of police and focusing it on community programs #UnitedInAnger#NURELSEX
#UnitedInAnger#NURELSEX the beginning is focusing on the protests and activists that helped bring awareness and change for the AIDS epidemic. It’s ridiculous how it takes the FDA 5-10 years to approve an AIDS drug when Europe it’s 3x faster. People didn’t have that time to wait
middle of the film- the issue of the NIH not having diverse clinical trials is brought up. Bigger Issue minorities in America not having equal access and treatment in healthcare. It is important for providers to work with the community they serve #UnitedInAnger#NURELSEX
@abby_carr_@BucarLiz It’s interesting to see how people willingly accepted the fact that they would get arrested for protesting and standing up for this. They knew the importance of their voices and joining forces to be heard and demand change. People were dying and they knew what they had to do
@DanielJBachman Since the AIDS epidemic targeted mostly the LGBT+ community, allyship and empathy were very important in the movement. You would think that with covid-19 targeting the elderly and other vulnerable populations, we would see empathy for them as well from young people
