About this episode

DAR ES SALAAM, Tanzania, 8 July 2009 UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador and noted actor Danny Glover came to Tanzania to support this years Zanzibar International Film Festival, and he also used the opportunity to highlight issues related to HIV particularly prevention of mother-to-child transmission, or PMTCT, as well as stigma and discrimination against children and their families affected by the virus.My brother lives with HIV/AIDS. He has been living with HIV for the past 20 years, Mr. Glover told young people he met during the trip. The work and the responsibility we have are not simply to our immediate families, but also to the community that we are living in. So to be able to use my visibility in the world as an actor is not something that I take for granted.To read the full story, visit http://www.unicef.org/infobycountry/tanzania_50188.html
