VIDEO: Peter Staley Talks HOW TO SURVIVE A PLAGUE on ANDERSON LIVE


Related: ANDERSON LIVE, HOW TO SURVIVE A PLAGUE

In this advance clip from next Monday's edition of "Anderson Live," AIDS and gay rights activist Peter Staley and host Anderson Cooper discuss David France's Oscar-nominated documentary How to Survive a Plague as an invaluable educational tool for young LGBT people, as well as an inspiring model for activism and motivating any sort of positive change. The episode will air Monday at 12:00pm EST / 1:00pm PST. Check it out below!

Peter Staley has been a long-term AIDS and gay rights activist, first as a member ofACT UP New York, then as the founding director of TAG, the Treatment Action Group. He served on the board of the American Foundation for AIDS Research (amfAR) for 13 years and then founded AIDSmeds.com, an educational website for people living with HIV. Staley is a leading subject in the Oscar-nominated documentary How to Survive a Plague.

HOW TO SURVIVE A PLAGUE is the story of two coalitions-ACT UP and TAG (Treatment Action Group)-whose activism and innovation turned AIDS from a death sentence into a manageable condition. Despite having no scientific training, these self-made activists infiltrated the pharmaceutical industry and helped identify promising new drugs, moving them from experimental trials to patients in record time. With unfettered access to a treasure trove of never-before-seen archival footage from the 1980s and '90s, filmmaker David France puts the viewer smack in The Middle of the controversial actions, the heated meetings, the heartbreaking failures, and the exultant breakthroughs of heroes in the making.
