Rise Up! 14 Short Films About Alliance for Positive Change

0.0 / 10102 min
Documentary

Overview

This cinéma vérité documentary chronicles the Alliance for Positive Change and its three decades of work supporting people living with HIV and other chronic health conditions. Through firsthand testimonies, the film revisits the early years of the HIV epidemic and follows the 30th anniversary of the organization’s Peer Recovery Education Program (PREP), which empowers participants to transform lived experience into peer support. Past and present graduates share stories of survival, resilience, and community care as they help others on their path to health and recovery. Centering Black/African American, Latinx, and LGBTQ voices, the film weaves history, activism, and hope into an uplifting portrait of people finding agency and collective strength in the fight to end the epidemic.
