Africans forced to choose abstinence [VIDEO]

May 15, 2007  |  
 

The clip to your right has been provided by Population Action International from a documentary called Abstaining From Reality , which they produced (see Tamar Adams' blog for more details in PEEK). This footage from Uganda reveals the extent of the corruption and ignorance inherent in President Bush's policies regarding AIDS and Africa. Stirring stuff, and this is just the trailer.
