Synopsis:
"State
of Denial" reveals the human experience behind one of the world's greatest
tragedies — the AIDS epidemic in South Africa. With five million people
infected and nearly two thousand new infections occurring daily, South
Africa has the highest number of people living with HIV in the world. The
film takes viewers into the lives of six people struggling to survive with
HIV in the face of social stigma, a severe lack of access to lifesaving
treatments, and their president Thabo Mbeki's controversial denial of the
connection between HIV and AIDS. A film of quiet outrage, "State of Denial"
weaves the personal with the political in an uplifting portrait of ordinary
people struggling to survive. |
