Film Night - "How to Survive a Plague"
Fri, June 28th 7:00 p.m. $10 suggested donation |
“How to Survive a Plague, the definitive history of the successful battle to halt the AIDS epidemic, with special guest, Joy A. Tomchin, producer.
A riveting, powerful telling of the story of the grassroots movement of activists, who seized upon scientific research to help develop the drugs that turned HIV from a mostly fatal infection to a manageable disease, while being ignored by the nation at large and confronted with shame and hatred. This project is made possible, in part, through the Putnam Arts Council’s Arts Link Grant Program, with public funds provided through the NY State Council on the Arts with support from Governor Andrew M. Cuomo and the NY State Legislature and with public funds from Putnam County. The evening is being presented to honor the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall uprising and the dawn of the gay liberation movement, and a half-century of LGBTQ Pride celebrations. |

Jake is internationally recognized for his impact on the world of advertising for his songs like, “Be All That You Can be” (Us Army) “I’m A Pepper” (Dr. Pepper) “The UnCola”, and many more.
