Miss HIV: Overcoming AIDS in Africa

AIDS is the leading killer of people under 60 in the world today, most in sub-Saharan Africa. Unlike any other film on AIDS, MISS HIV explores the battle over international HIV/AIDS policy and its impact.

The film also highlights how some in Africa are fighting to overcome the paralyzing stigma associated with AIDS -- one of the primary obstacles in the fight against the disease. The documentary gives voice to women in Botswana participating in the MISS HIV Stigma-Free pageant, and college students in Uganda fighting the stigma associated with their choice to remain abstinent.
