ABC Studios has acquired the rights to the Oscar-nominated documentary film How To Survive A Plague for a possible ABC miniseries, which would be executive produced by the docu’s writer-director David France and producers Howard Gertler and John Lyons. The documentary revolves around controversial AIDS activists who infiltrated the pharmaceutical industry and helped identify promising new drugs, moving them from experimental trials to patients in record time.

More appropriate @ NBC, no?
this was an incredible documentary that totally lends itself to being done in narrative form. but there is no way justice will be done to this on ABC.
So excited about this. FANTASTIC movie and such a good sign that networks are back in the mini-series business
