| Notes | This documentary is a collection of stories about courageous people living with HIV/AIDS in Kenya and Tanzania. The stories of Rosalyn, Christopher, Winfrida and others are a personalized journal of the spread of this modern plague. As one interviewee says, AIDS statistics "are numbers with the tears washed off." Interspersed throughout the stories are the commentaries of church workers, medical professionals, social workers and educators, who stand by those suffering, especially those thousands of children orphaned by AIDS. All of these stories lead us to reflect on the personal and strucutral aspects of the AIDS pandemic in Africa: poverty, lack of access to treatment, and the extraordinary social cost. The voices in this video challenge viewers to take up the role as global advocates in combatting this devastating disease. |
