Seminar Video: "Where the Water Meets the Sky".
This video takes place in Zambia, Africa. It is a documentary created by two women who gather women from various villages and teach them to film their own segments featuring "their story". Many of the stories were very similar. Many of the women have experienced or known someone of have lost their parents at a young age due to AIDS. There is a large AIDS epidemic in this region, this may have something to do with available prostitution. There exists a vicious cycle in where children are orphaned because of AIDS, they then commonly turn to prostitution and further spread the virus to their husbands and or children.
I thought the clip we watched in class about these women in Africa was really inspirational. I was touched by the fact that these women came together regardless of social factors or what religion they choose to follow. Their message is simple and necessary, for everyone to stop fighting.
