United in Anger: A History of ACT UP is a 2012 documentary film directed by Jim Hubbard and produced by Hubbard and Sarah Schulman about the beginning and progress of the AIDS activist movement from the perspective of the people fighting the epidemic. Archival footage with oral histories of members of ACT UP depicts the history of civil disobedience against corporate greed, social indifference, and government negligence in the face of AIDS. The film captures the efforts of ACT UP to remove the stigma associated with AIDS, push the prioritization of experimental drug research and testing, and provide a context for the devastating effects of the epidemic.
