www.thegrio.com According to data from the CDC, at the end of 2007, blacks accounted for almost half of the 1.1 million people living with HIV in America. Marline Hines works at New York City’s oldest minority AIDS service organization, Faces, where she leads a women’s support program called the Asha Project. Four hundred women have already passed through this program, which aims to help women address the emotional baggage that comes with the virus. The most common feeling? Shame. “Even in the process of role playing, they can’t say it,” Hines said. “Even though I’m not their daughter, it’s hard for them to just say ‘I’m positive.’” It’s that kind of shame and secrecy that filmmaker Claudia Pryor witnessed while making the documentary, Why Us? Left Behind and Dying. “I learned that our internal secrecy and shame absolutely drives this in our community,” Pryor told theGrio in a sit-down interview. “And probably the biggest thing I learned is that underlying that is a self-hatred and self-denigration that makes us feel that we are unworthy of being projected,” Pryor said. “Why Us?” follows a group of inner-city Pittsburgh students as they investigate why HIV rates are so high in black communities. The students interviewed leading experts, people with the infection in their neighborhood, and activists, all while having their reactions to the study monitored. Tamira Noble is the narrator and was one of the students involved in the study. While working on this project, Noble …

Watching in HD is absolutely necessary… This movie came out in 1993, so the quality isn’t super… Also I used some intense colouring that kind of makes it a little more difficult to see. So, this is my entry for the “Are You Aware” contest… I meant to make a video on HIV/AIDS discrimination, but it kind of turned into a more generally HIV/AIDS awareness type video with a brief discussion of homophobia and discrimination… Idk. Anywway, I had been trying to come up with a suitable cause to vid for this contest, and I came across this movie. I was so moved by the performances of Tom Hanks and Denzel Washington, I decided that this was definitely a cause worth making known to others…. Beyond that, HIV/AIDS has affected my life. Not directly, but had a relative who lived with HIV/AIDS. So that was even more of a reason for me to make this video. If you haven’t seen this movie, go watch it! I definitely did not do it justice with this video. Such a powerful film… Also, all of the text overlays I used came from a website called avert.org which has a lot of information about HIV/AIDS throughout the world, as well as discrimination against those with the virus… Song: Kolniður Artist: Jónsi Fandom: Philadelphia (with one clip from Skins…) “Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for “fair use” for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research.
