Union Event
This controversial film explores the international collision of HIV/AIDS policies while following the journey of two HIV-positive women who enter the contest in Botswana. Filmed across Africa and at the International AIDS Conference in Toronto this explosive film aims to share both sides of an ideology struggle. What is happening in Botswana, where half of all pregnant women have HIV, is set against Uganda who has experienced the largest reductions of new infections ever recorded. The story takes you backstage to the Miss HIV pageant and behind the curtain on what is happening in the war against a virus that is now the leading killer of people under 60 in the world.
