愛滋病初爆發的那些年,一群年輕男女勇敢對抗政府與大藥廠,成立愛滋平權聯盟(ACT UP)與治療行動小組(TAG)─不只為了自救,也為了救人。藉著走上街頭抗議與自力救濟的醫事訓練,他們不僅扭轉社會觀感,改善政府醫療制度,也讓更多愛滋病患免於被宣判死刑的命運。這部紀錄片以珍貴的歷史影像剪輯而成,帶領觀眾回顧這段奮鬥的軌跡。

In the early years of the AIDS pandemic, HIV-positive activists - literally fighting for their lives - took on Washington and Big Pharma by forming ACT UP (The AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power) and TAG (Treatment Action Group). Combining theatrical protests with self-taught scientific training, these heroic groups both gave a sense of purpose to the dying and shook up the medical and governmental bureaucracies.
