World AIDS Day Specials Air on UPTV

SEEDS of HOPE is a series of five short documentaries by film-maker Dorothy Fadiman about the courageous efforts underway in Ethiopia to break the silence, encourage innovative approaches to prevention, and lift the stigma surrounding HIV/AIDS. You'll meet activists, family members, neighbors, humanitarian groups, community activists, and health care profess...ionals who work side by side to advocate for greater awareness and provide care. Through the compassion and generosity of those whose actions are not only documented, but honored, the series conveys a message of empowerment and hope. The films are in Amharic with English subtitles.

The films air on UPTV (Comcast Channel 6, ATT U-Verse Channel 99) tonight (Thursday 12/1) @ 7:30pm, Saturday 12/3 @ 8pm, and Sunday 12/4 @ 11pm.
