Focus Years: 2011 | Country: United States
Synopsis:
"Tapestries of Hope" unearths the Zimbabwean myth that if a man rapes a virgin he will be cured of HIV/AIDS. The consequences of this myth are tragic: sexual abuse is rampant, girls as young as one day old have been raped, and victims are being infected with HIV/AIDS. In 2007, Michealene traveled to Zimbabwe to document this affliction, focusing on the work Betty Makoni has done to help the victims of rape and sexual abuse. As a result of her filming, Michealene was jailed, interrogated, and deported from Zimbabwe. This courageous film of tragedy and empowerment has won awards at the Louisville International Film Festival, the Monaco Film Festival, and the Honolulu International Film Festival.
