David France's 'How to Survive a Plague' tells an astounding story of activism and innovation about AIDS survival, not death which has been overlooked until this timely documentary. Culled from a massive trove of archival footage, the film is both epic and intimate, tracking a small group of people, most of them HIV-positive, in their nine-year-long battle to save their own lives. They end up saving 6,000,000. Angry, powerful, and stirring, 'How to Survive a Plague' is a brilliantly constructed documentary about the activists who pushed for action to combat the AIDS epidemic.
The RPL Film Theatre screens the best of world cinema – up to 15 films a month.

For more than 50 years, Regina Public Library (RPL) has played a pivotal role in the cultural life of the city of Regina and surrounding areas. In the mid-60s, interest in a permanent venue for film enthusiasts grew into a program at the Library – a co-operative effort between the local Film Council and the National Film Board of Canada. A landmark year for the cultural, multi-cultural and surrounding business communities was 1975, the year the RPL Film Theatre was officially launched.
