FEATURED DOCUMENTARY:
We Will Not Die Like Dogs (2005)
Conceived of by two African medical students at Yale who were tired of Africans portrayed only as victims to the epidemic and directed by international health specialist, Lisa Russell, We Will Not Die Like Dogs helped launch the National Black Programming Consortium’s new television series AfroPop that focuses on contemporary pop culture in Africa.
We Will Not Die Like Dogs is a documentary that profiles AIDS activists from Nigeria, Uganda, Burkina Faso, and Zambia, providing open and some times provocative testimonies of individuals living with the epidemic including two HIV-positive women fighting stigma and discrimination, a doctor working to care for HIV-infected children in rural villages, and a reggae artist using his status among youth and the media to bring awareness to HIV/AIDS.
