"Across The River" trailer Ethiopia HIV

In January 1996, the tense relationship between the Israeli establishment and the newly arrived Ethiopian community, exploded in a traumatic event, known as the "Blood Affair". Today, with a rising HIV prevalence, the community suffers even greater discrimination. "Across the River" tells the remarkable story of Moshe Rahamim (Tesgau Mahari) - one of the first to arrive in Israel from Ethiopia, who now feels that the responsibility for the entire community falls on his shoulders. He sets on a one man rescue mission to save his community from AIDS. This new film by acclaimed director Duki Dror is a startling documentary about how a growing health problem turns into a daunting socio-political crisis.

AIDS CURES NIGGERS

Somehow, I get the feeling that this is a silly movie-judgemental and full of itself. Listen-Ethiopia has one of the lowest HIV rates in Africa with the latest government study having it at 1.5%. People are not silent and are very aware of this disease. What is the purpose of this movie but to make himself look like a savior. Why is he yelling at the elders? Ethiopians are a private people-that does not mean they are hiding information from themselves or others.
