“One of the fastest growing rates of AIDS infection is among women. This video offers a perceptive exploration of the issues facing women with AIDS.
Filmed in the United States, Australia and New Zealand, it includes interviews with mothers who’ve discovered they are HIV positive, the doctors who treat them, and looks at how the women themselves cope.
The video includes a stunning interview with an outspoken young woman, Heidi, who faces her reality - as a mother with AIDS - and her future, with extraordinary courage and optimism. A real inspiration to anyone who watches it.
This video is a valuable resource for all health professionals and counsellors who deal with women who are HIV infected, as well as women themselves.” from Top Shelf Winter catalogue 1996/97, pg36.
