Films for the Humanities and Sciences - Left Behind: Kenyan AIDS Orphans

Left Behind: Kenyan AIDS Orphans

This award-winning program takes an unflinching look at the lives of Kenya’s chokoras, children orphaned by AIDS. It features emotionally charged visits to a disease-ravaged Nairobi slum, starkly illustrating the link between poverty, prostitution, and the tragically high level of sexual activity and ignorance among Kenya’s street kids. Eschewing any pretense of offering solutions, the program nevertheless holds up the Nimbani orphanage—an American-funded refuge in an area with no other support system for either homeless children or people with AIDS—as an example of constructive activism.
