Stigma

Plot

"Stigma" is about two African women who contracted HIV through their work as traditional birth attendants1 in a small village. One, the mother, could not stand the massive stigmatization from the society, friends, even family, and she dies. The other, the daughter, refuses to die; she fights against that stigmatization that kills the people living with HIV/Aids in Africa. A drama about ignorance and the consequences of carelessness, but also about the power to overcome desperate situations in life, to burst your bonds and finally be what you want to be.
