For many different reasons, a woman wants to give up and stop her antiretroviral treatment. It's up to her husband to come up with the right arguments to convince her to stay the course.
Directed by Fanta Régina Nacro, Burkina Faso; based on an original idea by Jean-Paul Brice Affana Affana, age 17, Cameroon.
Scenarios from Africa is a community mobilisation, education and media project about HIV/AIDS carried out with and for young people.
It gives children and young adults an exciting opportunity to educate themselves and others about HIV/AIDS by inviting them to participate with internationally acclaimed directors in the production of a collection of short films.
The films are based on ideas thought up by young people in a series of contests. So far, over 105,000 young people from 37 African countries have taken part in these contests. Over a thousand local and international partner organisations are involved in organising the contests and selecting the winning ideas.
Twenty-eight short fiction films are currently available. Some of the films are very touching, others extremely funny. They are distributed on a non-commercial basis across Africa and well beyond, for broadcast on national television stations and on international satellite networks.
Scenarios from Africa is coordinated by Global Dialogues - a non-profit organisation dedicated to promoting excellence in education and communication about HIV/AIDS.
