Rainbow Network (led by Anthea Kunz), together with Dr Christina Wilkins, Nina Jones and Carleigh Morgan (Department of Film and Creative Writing at UoB)
Join Dr Christina Wilkins and Nina Jones (CAL), the Rainbow Network at a film screening of "120 beats per minute". The subject matter of this film fits in nicely with this year's LGBTQ History Month's theme of social change.
Set in the early 1990s, with AIDS having already claimed countless lives for nearly 10 years, ACT UP Paris activists multiply actions to fight general indifference. Nathan, a newcomer to the group, has his world shaken up by Sean, a radical militant, who throws his last bits of strength into the struggle.
The film will be introduced by Carleigh Morgan with a brief talk.
