This powerful film is introduced by Mary Robinson, formerly President of Ireland and United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights. The film concludes with the expert advice of Kathleen Cravero, current Assistant Administrator of UNDP and formerly Deputy Executive Director of UNAIDS.

For 70 minutes, the viewer will receive a barrage of solutions, women's solutions to the global AIDS pandemic.
