A Plague on You

The sensational press coverage of the disease AIDS has created a climate of anxiety, alarm and even panic. In this film the Gay Media Group shows how the coverage has affected everyone, from the gay community and AIDS sufferers to the public at large. Fleet Street has repeatedly used lurid and misleading stories about the 'gay plague' to fan anti-gay prejudice. This programme explores the media myths and sets out the facts about the disease with the help of contributions from Derek Jameson, George Gale, Professor Michael Adler and Tony Whitehead
