An interesting footnote for us in Hudson is that Henry van Ameringen, the Van of the Galvan Partners and the Galvan Initiatives Foundation, is a co-producer of the film.

Sunday Night Screening
On Sunday, October 21, at 7 p.m., Basilica Hudson will screen the film How to Survive a Plague, "the story of two coalitions--ACT UP [AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power] and TAG [Treatment Action Group]--whose activism and innovation turned AIDS from a death sentence into a manageable condition." A. O. Scott in the New York Times called the film "a moving and meticulous documentary of AIDS activism in the late '80s and early '90s."
Admission is $10, which benefits the Hudson Pride Foundation and the AIDS Council of Northeastern New York. A Q&A session after the screening will be led by Victor Mendolia and two other ACT UP members now living in the Hudson Valley.
