Doctors, Liars, and Women: AIDS Activists Say No to Cosmo

The documentary highlights the outrage sparked by a controversial article in Cosmopolitan magazine in January 1988. It showcases the women from the AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power (Act Up, New York) as they organized the first AIDS demonstration centered on women's issues.

Beyond documenting the protest, Doctors, Liars, and Women serves as a practical guide for direct action. It details the efforts of the Women's Committee and their strategies in advocating for awareness and change regarding AIDS and its impact on women.

As a piece of activism history, this documentary offers insight into the grassroots movements of the late 1980s and reflects the urgent conversations surrounding HIV/AIDS during that period.
