A Hard Hitting View of AIDS in Rural China
11 January 2004 | by (Chicago, IL) – See all my reviews

This film is difficult to watch because it is hard to believe that conditions still exist like this on earth. The film really shows the impact of AIDS on poor people in China. My heart was heavy after watching the suffering of this family. Watch this film and learn. I have a new perspective of AIDS' impact on the world after viewing this film
