Angels in the Dust

I just watched a moving trailer to what I am sure is an even more moving documentary which tells the story of Aids in Africa. It is for a movie called 'Angels in the Dust' and it came out a few weeks ago. September 14th.

Louise Hogarth's remarkable documentary expands into a multifaceted view of Africa's AIDS epidemic that indicts the hospitals refusing to provide effective medicine, the parents who would rather murder their children than admit to their sexual abuse, and folk wisdom that claims your HIV will disappear if you sleep with a virgin.
In the midst of something so terrible though, it is encouraging to see traces of human kindness left in the world. Take a look:
