Window of Hope

Window of Hope is an award-winning documentary about HIV in Africa. Africa is at the centre of the HIV epidemic, however, in Africa, as in other parts of the world, most schoolchildren are not infected. While HIV is not curable, it is preventable therefore, if teachers can help children avoid infection then these children offer a 'window of hope' into the future - a life free of HIV.

Shot on location in Kenya and Ghana, the film follows three teachers as they impart their knowledge of HIV to students and equip them with the life skills required to avoid infection. The teachers also engage with parents and colleagues, who, in turn, spread HIV knowledge to their communities.
