ABOUT THE FILM:
Nineteen years ago, mass protests of people living with HIV in Durban, South Africa, gave rise to a series of unprecedented advances in global public health. Many of these gains are now in peril, placing millions of lives at risk. In From Durban to Tomorrow, five frontline advocates from different parts of the world put a human face to this crisis and the intensifying battle for a rights-based future in global public health. Watch the trailer here.
