Title: Intriguing, Memorable, Social Commentary on HIV/AIDS in South Africa
Product review: I saw this movie a year ago when I visited Johannesburg, South Africa around the time of World AIDS Day. To be there after watching this movie helped me understand the complexity of AIDS in Southern Africa. I attended a presentation by AIDS research experts where they tried to illlustrate that complexity to a group of Americans. This movie artfully and powerfully communicated the message that the research statistics could not. We left the research presentation with a lot of facts and figures....we left this movie in tears. Not only is it a great movie for its artistry, but it is an accurate depiction of the struggle against HIV/AIDS on the ground level. I will use this movie when I teach my students about AIDS around the world. This is a must see movie for anyone wanting to truly understand the AIDS issue in Africa.
