Writer-director Robin Campillo draws from his own experience as a member of Act Up–Paris to tell a fictionalized history of the activist group. In the early days of the HIV/AIDS outbreaks, Act Up sought to bring recognition and improved treatment to victims of the epidemic. Titled 120 Battements Par Minute in French, BPM combines social justice in a time of fear and stigmatization with a heart-breaking love story. Q&A follows the screening.
