UNICEF: Hope in the time of AIDS

Without sanitizing for a heartbeat the devastation of the disease, Hope In The Time of AIDS travels across five sub-Saharan African countries to show the remarkable resilience of people fighting not only a disease exacerbated by systemic problems of exploitation, stigma, inequity and a lack of education, but the endless media stereotypes of Africa as a basket-case of dying children with bloated bellies, covered in flies. The 25-minute film is narrated by Pierce Brosnan and features interviews with activists Stephen Lewis and Roméo Dallaire. It was written and co-directed by Pete McCormack and produced for UNICEF Canada.
