The film is titled ‘Deadly Catch: Lake Victoria’s AIDS Crisis’, and tells the story of just one of many communities in Africa still being decimated by the disease. More than 20 years after the discovery of the AIDS virus the basic message of prevention continues to fall on deaf ears in many parts of Africa.

The film is titled ?Deadly Catch : Lake Victoria?s AIDS Crisis?, and tells the story of just one of many communities in Africa still being decimated by the disease. More than 20 years after the discovery of the AIDS virus the basic message of prevention continues to fall on deaf ears in many parts of Africa.
As with all IRIN Films, the aim is to increase awareness and understanding of humanitarian crises and to assist fellow humanitarian actors in their advocacy efforts. As a humanitarian news agency IRIN specializes in the creation of advocacy tools but remains dependant on its partners for the dissemination of these messages.
IRIN Films are distributed free-of-charge but because of growing production and distribution costs we ask that only those agencies and NGOs actively involved in advocacy work request copies.
While we will endeavour to meet demand, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to provide copies to all who request them.
Would all interested parties please forward us a postal address, your preference of CD or DVD and a brief idea of how you plan to use the film.
We look forward to hearing from you and kindly request that you provide us with feedback on your usage of the film.
The film can be viewed in low resolution on our website ? www.irinnews.org/film
