Last week we had the opportunity to see an excellent documentary about the HIV/AIDS crisis entitled “A Closer Walk.”
“A Closer Walk is the first film to depict humankind’s confrontation with the global AIDS epidemic… The film’s basic themes remain, what are the underlying causes of AIDS; the relationship between health, dignity, and human rights; and the universal need for action, compassion, and commitment to counter what has become the worst plague in human history.”
This documentary is an excellent resource for gaining a deeper understanding of the impact of the HIV/AIDS pandemic throughout the world. For more info visit the website, www.acloserwalk.org/about_the_film/.
Also… while we will be in southwest Uganda and unaffected by the ongoing crisis in Northern Uganda and Sudan, we highly recommend that you check out the “Invisible Children” documentary to learn more about the conflict in the north. You can find more info at www.invisiblechildren.com.
