World AIDS Day Screening: Chocolate Babies

Out On Film and Gilead present a screening of Stephen Winter's "Chocolate Babies" followed by a discussion of HIV/AIDS in the media and the continued importance of advocacy with Atlanta activists including Craig Washington and Mark King. Reception to follow at 9 p.m. at Apres Diem. 

An underground band of HIV-positive, queer, urban, genderqueer, activists of color is making headlines in New York. In an effort to expose political corruption surrounding the AIDS epidemic, these urban guerrillas stage a series of surprise attacks against conservative politicians whom they believe are collecting secret lists of HIV-positive individuals. The masterminds behind the action include "to-the-death!" diva Max Mo-Freak; his determined sister, Jamela; Larva, a sex-crazed crossdresser with attitude; Lady Marmalade, a junkie transvestite songstress; and Sam, an idealistic young Asian militant and Max Mo's lover.
