Grandmothers: The unsung heroes of Africa

Go Back

Title

Notes

This film highlighting the crucial role grandmothers play not only in caring for AIDS orphans but also in holding their families and communities together. Through intimate portraits of four African grandmothers--Salome, Catarina, Karmela and Matilda--the film invites the world to listen to their stories and take action.

Four grassroots projects in South Africa, Kenya, Uganda and Zambia run by remarkable community-level organizations are profiled in the film. These are just a few examples of the over 150 projects in 14 sub-Saharan countries supported by the Stephen Lewis Foundation (SLF). The film premiered at the Grandmothers' Gathering in Toronto (August 11-13, 2006) and was also shown at the Global Village in conjunction with the XVI International AIDS Conference.
