Grandmothers are the primary caregivers for a large portion of children left orphaned and vulnerable by HIV and AIDS in sub-Saharan Africa. But their ability to care for these children, and for themselves, is greatly compromised by the effects of gender- and age-based discrimination. This is a film chronicling the journey of three African grandmothers from their homes in Uganda and Swaziland to Canada to testify in a People's Tribunal held in the fall of 2013. The film sends the very timely message that a rights-based response to the HIV and AIDS crisis is necessary to build a sustainable future for sub-Saharan Africa. See less
