This may well be the first time that a group of West African men and women speak openly about a once-taboo subject that has turned into a daily and deadly threat: AIDS. Relationships, dealing with the use of condoms, fears of getting tested for HIV/AIDS, are discussed candidly, making this film an indispensable awareness-raising tool. Its message extends well beyond its Burkina Faso setting as it raises, in simple words, some basic existential questions : viewers will easily relate to the feelings and fears expressed and be provoked into using these frank first-hand accounts as a basis for further discussions. A must for any AIDS-awareness campaign kit.
