SisterLove: Keeping it Real, Globally! is a creative, non-traditional audio documentary that looks at the local and global activism of a small group of dedicated Atlanta based women and their life's work - "to eradicate the impacts of HIV and AIDS and other sexual, reproductive health challenges on women and their families."

The voices of women and people of color are often placed second in "globalization" debates -- especially when it comes to finding alternative realities (read: solutions). By documenting the work of the Atlanta-based organization SisterLove, this project seeks to document and give an example of progressive social organizing and more importantly to challenge who it is we look to for answers.
"SisterLove: Keeping It Real, Globally!" puts forward the voices of small group African-American women in seeking to answer the question: How do localized organizations, in the face of globalization and neo-liberalism, move beyond insular and service model structures to effectively integrate regional and global organizing?
This is the first module of a proposed 3-part project that is being wholly produced and edited by first time audio producer Noah Chandler. Module 1 covers the local Atlanta efforts of SisterLove; Module 2 covers SisterLove's global efforts and follows them to South African where they have purchased a working farm as part of their crusade for reproductive justice; Module 3 will travel back to Atlanta and offer analysis of global organizing and summarizing this issue using SisterLove's efforts as a focal point.
Stylistically, "SisterLove: Keeping It Real, Globally" seeks to break free of the dominant style and approach found in the majority of work that is out today. It is narrator free. Music plays a dominant role and lends a more cinematic feel to the project. A hope is that it may appeal to an audience that is less attracted to other more formally produced pieces.
