State of Denial

South Africa maintains its records for the highest number of HIV+ people in the world. STATE OF DENIAL puts a human face on the millions affected and introduces us to six South Africans involved with the AIDS epidemic.

By the year 2000, an estimated 4.2 million people in South Africa were infected with HIV; if present trends continue by 2010, 7 million will have died of the disease. STATE OF DENIAL reveals how they must fight not only the disease but the greed of the drug cartels and the incomprehensible inactivity of their own government in order to get treatment. This film is a disturbing yet inspiring tool for involving that community in the struggle against AIDS.
