Welcome to the front lines of AIDS activism, where the latest enemy raids are being run by a band of unlikely warriors: two drag queens, an HIV-positive man with tiny gemstones dotting his bald head, and his HIV-positive sister.

Following a group of activists and artists (or as the movie describes them “raging, atheist, meat-eating, HIV-positive, coloured terrorists”) who band together to stage a series of surprise attacks on New York City’s conservative officials, CHOCOLATE BABIES feels just as relevant now as it did 30 years old. Bold, galvanizing and very much hilarious, Winter made one of the great cinematic responses to the AIDS crisis, and one that still has so much to offer in terms of showing us what radical resistance looks like. -PETER KNEGT
