He has been nominated for an Oscar and multiple Emmys, and has received two George Foster Peabody awards, a Lambda Literary Award, and the Baillie Gifford Prize for nonfiction.

In June 2007, France appeared on The Colbert Report to discuss the scientific basis that homosexuality is genetic.[5] In 2017, he appeared on Late Night with Seth Meyers to discuss his film about gay liberation activist Marsha P. Johnson.[6]

In 2009, he co-founded Public Square Films with Joy A. Tomchin.[7]

Early career

Journalism

France published his first pieces of reporting in Gay Community News in the early 1980s, and soon was assistant editor at the New York Native and contributor to the Village Voice. His founding interest in journalism was the HIV/AIDS crisis. France had been reporting on the U.S. AIDS epidemic since its early years, having moved from Kalamazoo, Michigan,[4] to New York City in June 1981,[4][8] just 2 weeks before the first newspaper report about the disease appeared in The New York Times[8] and living in the epicenter of the East Coast epidemic through its first decade,[4] losing his boyfriend of 5 years to AIDS in 1992.[4]

After a short stint at the New York Post, from which he was fired for being gay,[9] he moved to Central America to work as a war correspondent covering the region's multiple crises in the mid-80s for Religion News Service and others. He spent many years writing for women's magazines, including Glamour, where he was National Affairs Editor, before moving to Newsweek as Senior Editor in 1999 and New York Magazine as Contributing Editor in 2001.

His articles have been collected in a number of books and have won many awards. A 2007 article France wrote for GQ, Dying to Come Out: The War On Gays in Iraq, won a GLAAD Media Award.[10] He spent a year with the family of a boy who committed suicide and undertook a forensic approach in an article about it for the Ladies' Home Journal.[11] The piece, entitled "Broken Promises", which he wrote with Diane Salvatore, won a Mental Health America 'Excellence in Mental Health Journalism' award in 2008.[11]

Awards and recognition

In 2012 he was named to the "OUT 100," the annual list of 100 LGBTQ "people of the year" published by Out Magazine.[12]

In 2019 he was awarded a MacDowell Fellowship from the MacDowell Colony and the Calderwood Journalism Fellowship for 2019, in support of long-form journalism.[13]

In June 2020, in honor of the 50th anniversary of the first LGBTQ Pride parade, Queerty named him among the fifty heroes "leading the nation toward equality, acceptance, and dignity for all people".[14][15]

Books

Our Fathers

France, who covered the Catholic sexual abuse scandal in the United States for Newsweek, turned his work into a well-reviewed and comprehensive history of the issue in the American church. "Stunning in its insight, ...France writes with compassion and intelligence," wrote John D. Thomas in the Atlanta Journal & Constitution. Writing in The New York Times, Janet Maslin said: "No matter how thoroughly this material has been presented by other reporters, the effect of this cumulative retelling is devastating."

The book was adapted by Showtime for a film by the same name, which received multiple Emmy Award nominations and one from the Writers Guild of America.

The Confession

Written with former Governor of New Jersey Jim McGreevey, the book was a New York Times best seller, debuting at #3 in nonfiction hardcover sales and #1 in biography.[16] It chronicles the Governor's rise to power and the lengths to which he went to hide the fact of his gayness.

How to Survive a Plague

Published in 2016, How to Survive a Plague is considered "the definitive book on AIDS activism."[17]

A blend of scholarly history and first-hand witnessing, it is considered a sequel to (and correction of) Randy Shilts's And the Band Played On. France weaves the intimate personal narratives of the most towering figures from that time -- Mathilde Krim, Joseph Sonnabend, Larry Kramer, Peter Staley, Michael Callen, Robert Gallo, Luc Montagnier—into "a riveting, galvanizing account"[18] of flawed personalities, nasty politics, human desperation, and clever resistance. He shows how the arrival of life-saving antiretrovirals in 1996 could not have happened without a scrappy band of citizen scientists pushing Big Pharma along.

It won named to numerous best-of and top-ten lists, was a New York Times 100 Notable Books for 2016,[19] and was one of the best-reviewed books of the year. "Powerful...This superbly written chronicle will stand as a towering work in its field, the best book on the pre-treatment years of the epidemic since Randy Shilts's And The Band Played On… Most of the people to whom it bears witness are not around to read it, but millions are alive today thanks to their efforts, and this moving record will ensure their legacy does not die with them." –Sunday Times[20]

The book won the Baillie Gifford Prize,[21] the Green Carnation Prize, the Stonewall Book Award (nonfiction) from the American Library Association,[22] the Lambda Literary Award, Publishers' Triangle Best Nonfiction award, and the National Lesbian and Gay Journalists Association Book Prize. It was longlisted for the Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence,[23] and shortlisted for the Wellcome Book Prize.[24]

Entertainment Weekly called it one of the 10 best nonfiction books of the 2010s,[25] and Slate named it one of the 50 best of the past 25 years.[26]

Films

How to Survive a Plague

Main article: How to Survive a Plague

France's documentary film How to Survive a Plague, about the early years of the U.S. AIDS epidemic, was released in 2012, four years before his eponymous book.[27] As director and producer, France made use of a wide range of archive footage from the height of the American AIDS crisis to create a feature documentary Esquire magazine called the Best Documentary of the year.

The film premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in 2012, won numerous festival awards worldwide, and was nominated for an Academy Award,[4][28] a Directors Guild Award,[29] an Independent Spirit Award,[30] and two Emmys,[31] and it won a Peabody Award[32][33] a Gotham Award,[34] and a GLAAD award.[33] In addition, France received The John Schlesinger Award (given to a first time documentary or narrative feature filmmaker) from the Provincetown International Film Festival, the Jacqueline Donnet Emerging Documentary Filmmaker Award from the International Documentary Association,[35] and the New York Film Critics Circle award for Best First Film,[36] the group's first time to honor a documentary filmmaker.

The Death and Life of Marsha P. Johnson

Main article: The Death and Life of Marsha P. Johnson

In 2017, France released the documentary, The Death and Life of Marsha P. Johnson, which he directed. The film portrays the life of Marsha P. Johnson, a prominent activist in the late 1960s through the early 1990s,[37][38][39] and follows the re-opened investigation into Johnson's suspicious death.[40] It was acquired by Netflix in June 2017.[41]

The film premiered in competition at the Tribeca Film Festival in April 2017,[42] and debuted on Netflix on 6 October 2017. In October 2017, trans activist Tourmaline alleged David France used her work to create The Death and Life of Marsha P. Johnson. France denied the allegation and two independent investigations, published in Jezebel[43][44][45] and The Advocate, found Gossett's/Tourmaline's allegations to be baseless.[46] The film went on to win numerous festival awards[47] and earn positive reviews—96% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes.[48] In Vulture, the critic David Edelstein called the film "shattering;"[40] Time Out New York called it "essential for anyone interested in learning how to make a loud-and-proud stink."[49]

Welcome to Chechnya

Main article: Welcome to Chechnya

France's 2020 film, Welcome to Chechnya, premiered at the 2020 Sundance Film Festival[50] and was released on June 30, 2020, by HBO Films. It follows the work of activists rescuing survivors of torture in the anti-gay pogroms of Chechnya, and features footage that was shot in secret, using hidden cameras, cell phones, GoPros, and handycams. To protect the identities of asylum seekers, deepfake technology was used to replace the faces and voices of subjects with face and voice doubles in a way that allowed viewers to see real faces displaying real emotions.

"Chechnya" was shortlisted for an Oscar in the VFX category, a first for any documentary.

Critics hailed the film as "an essential work of documentary,"[51] "astonishingly groundbreaking," [52] and "easily one of the most searing and vital documentaries of the year. This masterful documentary from David France weaves high-stakes storytelling and investigative reporting to expose the ongoing situation, resulting in an unforgettable film. "[53]

It has won over 20 international awards, including the International Television and Seigenthaler Prize from RFK Human Rights.[54] and a BAFTA.[55]

"Welcome to Chechnya further establishes France as America’s foremost documentarian on LGBTQ issues,” wrote Guy Lodge in Variety.[56]
