Run time: 95 min. | South Africa
From the executive producer of An Inconvenient Truth, this is an inspiring story of Marion Cloete, a university-trained therapist who - with her husband and two daughters - fearlessly walked away from a privileged life in a wealthy Johannesburg suburb to establish Botshabelo, an extraordinary village and school that provides shelter, food and education to more than 550 orphaned South African children. The Orphan Bracelet Campaign evolved as a way to DO something, and it employs women affected by HIV/AIDS and helps children orphaned by this staggering epidemic. Director and Ubuntu Orphan Bracelet Campaign founder, Louise Hogarth plans to attend a screening and will be selling bracelets.

Saw this at the SBIFF in 2008. Don't miss it. The film maker is extraordinary in the way she goes in close to get the interviews. An intimate depiction of what AIDs has done in South Africa, and what 2 committed humans who care have done to give kids a chance. This is not a tour of South Africa you could easily book, so don't miss it. This film is an upper, not a downer.
