World AIDS Day Event: deepsouth

The documentary film deepsouth explores the stigma of HIV/AIDS in the rural American South. The film follows four people directly confronting the region's history, poverty, and now soaring HIV infection rates. Josh, a college student, seeks the support of an underground gay family miles away from his Mississippi Delta hometown. With no funds and few resources, Monica and Tammy try tirelessly to unite reluctant participants at their annual HIV retreat in rural Louisiana. Kathie, an Alabama activist, spends 120 days a year on the road fighting a bureaucracy that continues to ignore the South. A Skype Q&A with directors Lisa Biagiotti and Duy Linh Tu will follow the 70-minute film.
