United in Anger: Discussion Guide for Activists and Organizers

“The United in Anger ACT UP documentary is a valuable teaching tool I look forward to utilizing to train youth activists in the struggles that affect them.  The fight for justice and equality that ACT UP strove for with HIV/AIDS is still relevant as ever.”
— Judith Pindell, Director, Ohio Advocates Youth Leadership Council

United in Anger: A History of ACT UP is a moving and inspiring film, and a great resource for organizers and activists of all stripes. This packet of discussion guides is designed to help groups learn from the example of the AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power and apply the lessons of ACT UP’s organizing tactics and campaign strategies to their own movements today. The first guide in the packet is for a single viewing of the full film, with discussion questions and an activity. The second guide splits the film into four sections, for groups of activists who want to watch and reflect on the film over the course of a month of weekly meetings. No matter which discussion guide your organization uses, this film will help your members recommit to organizing and action.
