I was born at the peak of the AIDS crisis. I'm too young to remember Senator Jesse Helms denouncing sodomy on the floor of the Capitol, or the mayor of New York calling AIDS activists fascists, or Greenwich Village artist Ray Navarro crashing an Catholic anti-condom pronouncement dressed like Jesus and proclaiming, "Make your second coming a safe one!" All those scenes are in How to Survive a Plague, the extremely well-crafted documentary of AIDS activism group ACT UP. It should be required viewing for youngsters like me. by Sarah Mirk
