Stepping Up: America Responds to Global AIDS [Film]

"This is a story of sub-Saharan Africa cities, towns and villages, where AIDS has killed millions of people, and where 3,000 people are still dying every day in the humanitarian crisis facing the world." This documentary aims to show the urban communities of South Africa, and areas of rural devastation in Botswana and Uganda. It features African men and women from all sectors of society telling the story of what AIDS has done to entire nations.

The film also features American aid workers, trying to scale up facilities to deal with the numbers of dead and dying spilling out from hospital wards. African women speak about their plight in a culture which stifles their voices and worsens the spread of HIV.
