On Saturday, November 15th
6:00pm
AFRICAN FILM FESTIVAL,
in conjunction with the Margaret Mead Film & Video Festival,
PRESENT:
TODAY THE HAWK TAKES ONE CHICK
(Jane Gillooly, Swaziland/USA, 2007, 72min.)
The Lubombo region of Swaziland suffers from the world's highest prevalence of HIV and a life expectancy that has dropped to 32 years. In this small, landlocked country in southern Africa , a generation of parents has died, leaving the grandparents in charge of the children as well as responsible for retaining the threads of the fraying traditional life. Presented without an overt narrative structure or narration, the film's drama emerges from the steady accumulation of details that tell a greater story of family in a world dictated by AIDS.
