{"value"=>"<p>Resistance: A variety of forms of resistance to the mainstream media's construction of AIDS is offered in this section. Canadian producer John Greyson's <span class=\"title\">The ADS Epidemic</span> (5 minutes) adapts a music-video format to preach against \"ADS\"--acquired dread of sex. Barbara Hammer's <span class=\"title\">Snow Job: The Media Hysteria of AIDS</span> (8 minutes) critiques the representation of AIDS in the popular press; where the distortions amount to a 'snow job' that justifies the continuation of society's practices of homophobia and sexual discrimination. In <span class=\"title\">We are NOT Republicans</span> (13 minutes), Adam Hassuk and Robert Huff document the disruption made by AIDS activists at the 1988 Republican presidential convention--a disruption focusing public attention on the federal government's ongoing failure to help stop the epidemic. <span class=\"title\">Stiff Sheets</span> (19 minutes), produced by John Goss, similarly indicts public health officials and politicians for the lack of adequate and humane care for persons with AIDS in Los Angeles, this time by documenting a mock fashion show staged by ACT UP activists.
