The Kiwis behind a film about the unsung heroines of the AIDS epidemic in Africa screen the documentary for the women it depicts 

Two years ago, Borderless Productions took its documentary A Grandmother's Tribe back to Kenya to screen it for the women and communities that were its subject.  

This year, to celebrate World AIDS Day (December 1), the company has released a short film showing the journey back to Africa and how the film's subjects received it.

What a beautiful looking film! Thankyou very much for this post, it has really opened my mind to another generation of brokenness in this world. I do believe that in today's modern world change will occur through media. Truly amazing.
