Commencing their journey from the White Hotel, these women quickly become enchanted by the beauty of this foreign region. A foreign region of joy as well as repression, and of such opulence and sensuality as well as sexual mutilation. Inadvertently, the direction of their documentary takes a turn and becomes a personal study of Griffin and Solvang. [More]

A self-indulgent work that focuses more on the two women than on the disease.

Griffin's rambling narration is self-absorbed, sounding like stream-of-consciousness meanderings from a therapy session.

Exposes how tradition, lack of education and financial instability is inextricably bound to Africa's AIDS crisis.
