Ann Sono's film about women dealing with an HIV+ diagnosis, "I Won't Go Quietly", is to have its UK premier at the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) on 25th April, 2014, starting at 6pm. It will cost £5, but that includes a free drink (soft) and a discussion panel after the film.
The film documents the journey of each of the women, how they dealt with the diagnosis initially, how their relationships with medical professionals and the law changed, their own history of whether they took medication or not, the implications for their children, and for some, a tragic eventual ending.
The film is powerful and moving, and anyone whose brain isn't totally switched off or stuck in the tramlines of an orthodox perspective will have questions about what doctors and the majority of the media keep promulgating about HIV and AIDS - and those 'life-saving' drugs. It is filmed approximately 50% in English and the rest is subtitled in English.
