A Missing Generation – AIDS in Africa
2006, 52 minutes
We spend time with people in Eastern Africa whose lives have been taken over by HIV and AIDS. Hundreds of thousands of people from these regions have died – they call them the missing generation, including many of the nation’s teachers, nurses and doctors – parents gone leaving behind vast numbers of orphans. But within this bleakness there is hope.
Reviews
A powerful documentary….which howled for our attention. With a documentaries like this telling us how it is, none of us can claim we weren’t told what was happening.
