Film & Discussion: How to Survive a Plague
640 Orange Avenue, Coronado, 92118
Cost: Free
Join us for a free screening of the documentary How To Survive a Plague. In the late 1980s, members of Act-Up and other AIDS activists battle hostility and indifference to bring attention to the disease and try to reduce the number of victims while hoping to lead the drive to find a cure. Follwoing the screening we will discuss the film and how Rebecca Makkai tackles the topic of survival in her novel, The Great Believers, the 2019 One Book One San Diego selection. This is in partnership with One Book One San Diego and KPBS.
