A Village: Boutons

a touching story - a woman comes and lives with her nephew then her husband dies - her child then dies and Erdman realizes it's AIDS - she fears for the family, the community

Erdman gives us the background of AIDS in Cote d'Ivoire, how it spreads, the stigma

the people blame it on sorcery

Erdman questions the effectiveness and unused potential of the Baptist doctors

she tells stories of African s dying of AIDS, from Sibide's mouth and her own

Sidibe is the voice of concerned young Africans - and he says only a vaccine will help

the chief applauds her work and gives her free reign

the story of the AIDS play is living and real

NGO show
