HIV/Aids awareness is something that I hold near and dear to my heart. I lost an aunt to the disease and have an uncle who is currently thriving and living a full life with it, but I wasn’t always as knowledgeable and sensitive to the affects of HIV/AIDS until it impacted my family. That’s why I’m absolutely inspired by the feature-length documentary, It’s Not Over. This film by Andrew Jenks, which was made possible by the charitable arm of M∙A∙C Cosmetics–the M∙A∙C AIDS Fund— gives viewers a glimpse into the lives of three young people from across the globe: Paige (United States), Sarang (India) and Lucky (South Africa) and how HIV/AIDS affects them.
Check out the movie trailer below.
On November 19, the full-length movie will be available on Netflix, SnagFilms and Pivot TV for audiences in the United States. The worldwide launch is on World AIDS Day, December 1.
Here are a few striking infographics about teens and their perceptions of HIV/AIDS:

Let’s bring as much awareness to this film as possible–it’s sure to change lives and bring more awareness to the HIV/AIDS on a global scale.
Ciao Bellas,
