ABOUT THE FILM

The grandmothers of Africa have watched their own children an entire generation of young adults die of AIDS. As a result, grandmothers have become the primary caregivers for millions of orphaned grandchildren. This moving new documentary from the Stephen Lewis Foundation shines a light on the urgent need to provide better protection for the human rights of African grandmothers.

This film centres on the SLF's African Grandmothers Tribunal, held in Vancouver, BC in 2013. The film begins in Africa, highlighting six of these courageous grandmothers as they give powerful and emotional testimony before the tribunal judges: Gloria Steinem, Joy Phumaphi, Theo Sowa and Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond culminating in a passionate call to action.
