Positive Women - Heartache, Hope & Living with HIV

In 2016, Anne Lotter and filmmaker Bex Devaraj spent time in a Kampala slum to film the lives of six women who share their stories of heartache, hope and living with HIV, where every day is a struggle for survival. The result was Positive Women, an intimate and moving portrayal of the women, covering everything from polygamous marriage, to being bewitched, to dreams of driving a car.

This documentary gives a voice to a community who have never had one and the hope is that it will help move understanding beyond an acceptance of oppressor and oppressed and look instead at the power dynamics in a system where men as a group dominate women as a group, both structurally and ideologically.
