Tell a Friend

AIDS-Wise, No Lies

by Anne Rutledge and David Current

Young people tell what it's like to live--and sometimes die--in the age of AIDS

Ten young people whose lives are affected by AIDS reveal thoughts, feelings, and experiences in their own words from their own environments. Deeply moving, not sentimental, their stories break through the youthful sense of being invulnerable, ultimately leaving viewers feeling empowered, knowing they have choice & control over contracting AIDS.

quoteI have yet to preview a video that has a stronger message. A powerful, dynamic resource.
Pam Baldwin, Public Schools

quoteA powerful video for young people, told by young people. It's the raw truth, impossible to deny.
