Announcing the release of "DYING IN SILENCE"
"Dying in Silence" tells the story of a brave people fighting a
catastrophe. It creates a deep awareness of the AIDS epidemic,
famine, and the other problems facing not only Malawi, but all of
sub-Saharan Africa.
People are dying of AIDS at an alarming rate, yet hardly anyone talks
about it. Those with AIDS are shunned by family and friends. Those
who suspect they have it maintain a "culture of silence".
Comments about the film and AIDS in Malawi--
"Dying in Silence" is a powerful presentation of the extraordinary
character of the Malawian people in facing the overwhelming
challenges of HIV-AIDS. It needs to be seen by everyone."
Gordon Radley, President of Lucasfilm Ltd.
Malawi Peace Corps Volunteer 1968-70
"Only someone who loves Africa could make a film like this. A
compassionate snapshot of the greatest tragedy man has ever faced,
but too many of us ignore. 'Dying' is profound in its simplicity."
John Riber, Director of Media Development Trust
Harare, Zimbabwe
"If we can't (control AIDS).. there will be chaos. The economy will
virtually collapse and the political system will be under strain
and... Malawi as we know it may not be there. So really, we don't
have much of a choice. We have to take the route that we can defeat
this disease."
Justin Malewazi, Vice President of Malawi
