Papy

Based on a true story, this is one episode from a six-part series, telling the story of how Papy, infected by HIV, succeeds in getting special ARV treatment. Rejected by his wife and family, Papy can’t go to work and has to take sole care of his two children. By convincing a homeless man to play the part of his uncle, he is able to visit a treatment center – which insists that a relative accompany each patient. This is a new portrayal of HIV AIDS in Africa, a subject that now saturates TV screens.
