Mwendanjangula!: AIDS in Zambia

By Arthur van Amerongen

Zambia, one of the poorest countries in Africa, is ravaged by AIDS. The prognosis is horrifying: 20 percent of its nine million inhabitants will die of AIDS in the next ten years, and this is a conservative estimate. It is rumored that as many as one in three Zambians is HIV-positive. Statistics aside, what does AIDS really mean to the Zambians? Geert van Kesteren and Arthur van Amerongen traversed the country, often accompanied by their friend Clement Mufuzi, a sculptor and Zambia's best known AIDS-activist. The result is a blood-curdling reportage about love and death, hope and despair and the daily routine of life that, despite everything, continues.
