Review of The AIDS Highway
This narration-less program begins with descriptions of the general situation of Ugandan children orphaned by AIDS pandemic. The program shifts back and forth between teachers and students. Students talk about their circumstances, studies, and hopes for the future. Foreign and Ugandan teachers describe their small schools. They offer details as to how the schools are funded, what the programs are and how the programming is planned to train the students in creating everything from cash crops to community. Most of the tape is presented talking-head style, but occasionally interspersed with wonderful tape of music and singing, and the alive sounds of the school in the background. Less talking head, more spontaneous tape would have made the program more compelling, but that’s a minor aside. sl
