Uganda is Africa's success story when it comes to HIV / AIDS prevention. The prevalence of the epidemic has fallen from 30% to 6% over the last 15 years, largely due to faith based organisations like Youth Alive. The Youth Alive movement, founded by Irish missionary and medical doctor, Sr. Miriam Duggan, helps young people face and counter-act the AIDS crisis within a positive peer-to-peer environment. Activities include seminars on AIDS prevention (based on abstinence before marriage and fidelity within marriage), counselling and providing life skills to primary and secondary schools. This short documentary considers the Youth Alive movement and the growing impact that this is having saving lives in Uganda.
