HIV is the virus that causes AIDS; symptoms only become apparent after the virus lies quietly within the infected person for seven to ten years and most...

The history of social and economic division that still continues in South Africa is reflected in the way the disease has spread. Poor black women in the townships get only inferior mixtures of AZT to prevent their babies from being born infected. They do not get the information necessary to prevent infection. The disease is not confined to the poor, for affluent whites are also affected by HIV. We hear from patients, social workers, medical experts and government policy makers on the magnitude of...

In January 2000, the United Nations Security Council mobilised for the first time ever against an illness: It declared the AIDS epidemic that is galloping through Africa, Asia, and the Caribbean a global catastrophe.

The film gives voice to the Africans themselves who, with courage and dignity, face an uncertain future.
