Hello,
A friend of mine has created a documentary about HIV/AIDS and needs support to see it produced. Please pass on the trailer to your friends and family who you think might find it interesting and perhaps may want to support the project. Even watching it on youtube helps as the more views and likes they get, lets their funders know that there's interest in the movie. Thanks.
-Haroun

Background to Positively Beautiful
Positively Beautiful is a feature documentary about life and love in the age of HIV. Set in South Africa, the film is about five friends who have been living with HIV for over a decade and whose lives challenge the stigma of HIV everyday. The film explores how we find hope in the face of tragedy and asks how we can change the harmful ways that societies respond to an incurable disease. Beyond the challenges, the film highlights a rare optimistic perspective of Africa and HIV as treatment and life choices allow thousands to survive and believe in a future.
The documentary is central to an extensive outreach campaign that will reach audiences at international film festivals, conferences, global screenings as well as universities, workplaces, hospitals, clinics and communities. The outreach campaign will use the documentary to challenge HIV/AIDS-related stigma and generate dialogue. We have already been invited to submit the film to the International Provincetown Film Festival in the US and have secured interest from universities, workplaces and NGO's to screen the film. The documentary combines captivating story telling and cinematography, with innovative marketing.
Our team at Wicked Delicate Films, are the creators of King Corn, The Greening of Southie and City Dark. Wicked Delicate has a track record producing successful documentaries and implementing innovative outreach campaigns. Most recently, City Dark, was screened at the 2011 SXSW film festival in Austin and is currently in theaters. Wicked Delicate films has also been screened on the Sundance Channel and PBS and has received wide coverage in the Washington Post, The New York Times, CNN and NPR.
Positively Beautiful is a non-profit project and has a team comprised of Wicked Delicate and talented South African film professionals. The current website for Positively Beautiful is www.positivelybeautifulthemovie.com Click on the link below to view our latest trailer.
Thanks in advance for your support.
Warmest regards,
