A Plague and its Symptoms

DirectorStuart Marshall

1983
24 min

The tape is about the way AIDS has been represented by medical journalism in particular and the dominant media in general. Contemporary medical research is destroying a movement that the gay liberation movement has built up, that is an autonomous, proud, homoerotic body, and is reconstructing that body as a pathological and morbid body that shows symptoms of disease.
