POSITIVELY BEAUTIFUL (2014)

Five strangers facing shame and potential death from AIDS form an unlikely friendship that transforms them from ordinary citizens to extraordinary activists. They struggle against stigma and fear; suicide and isolation. As friends and family die, and leaders deny the existence of HIV, they fight harder. Fifteen years later, against all odds, they are still alive. Their friendship becomes a remarkable story: a quiet victory of meaningful, beautiful lives in a rapidly evolving South Africa.
