Aids in Africa

60 minutes • Documentary • Produced in association with: CBC and The National Film Board • Production year: 1990

For the first time on film, AIDS sufferers are interviewed at The AIDS Support Organization (TASO), a unique comprehensive care clinic in Uganda. They speak of their fears and their loneliness, but above all, they speak of their hopes. The images and voices of the people at TASO linger in the mind long after the film is over.
