Synopsis
An examination of the tragedy of AIDS in Africa as experienced in Eritrea, a small, poor republic which has been devastated by the disease. The culprits are easily identified--inefficient health care facilities and funding, lack of awareness education, traditional female circumcision rituals which leave young women highly susceptible to infection--and the victims face a long and painful death sentence due to an unfocused and underfinanced effort to offer the barest basics of quality treatment. Medical professionals, government officials, traditional healers, HIV and AIDS patients and international relief workers are all interviewed. And the film journeys from the dusty streets of the Eritrean capital of Asmara, to the isolated stretches of the nation's rural heartland in search of hope in the midst of a socio-medical catastrophe.
