Drawing upon unprecedented insider access to ACT UP's founding members, as well as their unique archives and action footage, A LOTTA NERVE examines not only the mechanics, actions and international rise of ACT UP, but also offers first-hand insight into the essential and individualized human factor of the emotional impact of this movement and the experiences of its members, as a result. Although A LOTTA NERVE tells how a rag-tag bunch of queers acted up, failed to stop an epidemic, and, in the process, changed your life, it is also a universal testament to the power of the individual to effect lasting, lifesaving change. A LOTTA NERVE is currently in pre- production.
