Stop the Church

The AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power (ACT UP) New York and the Women's Health Action Network (WHAM!)targeted the Catholic Church in New York City and Cardinal John O'Connor's rejection of safer sex education and condom use, in a December 10, 1989 demonstration at St. Patrick's Cathedral. At a time when the church and Cardinal O'Connor was taking a more conservative turn--supporting Operation Rescue's blockades of pregnancy clinics offering abortions; opposing needle exchange to block HIV transmission among injection-drug users; opposing any gay-rights ordinances--they were also collecting money for services to people dying from AIDS. The film documents ACT UP's most controversial and provocative political actions.

There was a trailer...but, it has since disappeared.
