The AIDS Chronicles - Here to Represent

The new feature-length documentary, The AIDS Chronicles - Here to Represent focuses on the social and cultural impact of HIV/AIDS on the African American community of  Atlanta. These stories, produced from material gathered over the last four years, give insight into the reasons why HIV/AIDS is still a major threat to the black population of urban centers nationwide.

This documentary opens a window on the lives of Atlanta's African American population and reveals the thoughts and actions of African Americans of every walk of life, every economic and educational level, and every gender identification.  Through frank interviews with activists, health educators and victims, and recorded glimpses into their personal and professional lives,  the viewer sees the struggle of those infected and affected by HIV/AIDS.

Interwoven among these stories are the comments of African American HIV/AIDS experts on the front lines of the AIDS epidemic - in public health, prevention, treatment, education and outreach, including Phill Wilson (Black AIDS Institute), Mindy Fullilove, MD (Columbia University), David Malebranche, MD (Emory University/Grady Hospital & The President's Advisory Council on HIV/AIDS) and Bill Jenkins, PhD (Morehouse College Center on Health Disparities).  They do not mince words on their assessment of the current situation and the basic preventive actions necessary.
