While much media coverage is given to statistics about HIV and AIDS in the USA, whether that be medical data now more available to the public, films that document both the Hospice development for the dying as well as the fragile hopes of new medicines and possible vaccines for those living with HIV, or simply coverage of the entertainment industry support during AIDS Walks, Runs, and other Benefit extravaganzas, almost nothing is said about the devastation that this disease has eroded the continent of Africa.
Here in a book that is more devoted to the visual images of patients, families and villages in the shadow of AIDS than to statistical information, the truth becomes more poignant. In a series of interview monologues with some of those affected by this plague the need for world wide attention is apparent. How we can spend billions on wars and exclude the humanitarian needs of those for whom each day is a life and death crisis boggles the mind. Perhaps this informative and tender book will help. Grady Harp, July 05
