ARV Swallows: Positive Ladies



"They thought we were just playing games. They would laugh at us and say, ‘How can women play football? Will you be good at it? How can you sick people play soccer?" Meria Kabudura, winger.

A group of HIV women in one of Zimbabwe’s poorest areas decide to form a soccer team in order to compete in a tournament. They want to fight stigma by proving to everyone that they can win the tournament’s trophy.

There are 1000 copies of the film about these women up for grabs. If you would like a copy of the film, peep this link. The principle is watch and share, watch and share so it'd be great if you watch it and donate it to a library or community centre so as many people as possible get to watch it.
