“A Closer Walk” is a movie directed by Robert Bilheimer, who is an academy award nominated documentary film maker. This particular film of his chronicles our global community’s struggle with HIV/AIDS throughout the history of the disease and into the present day. As the film’s website states, “A Closer Walk is the first film to depict humankind’s confrontation with the global AIDS epidemic,” and it does so in a powerful and heartbreaking manner.
Our hope is that you come and learn about how HIV/AIDS is impacting millions upon millions of people throughout our global community. Also, we hope that this film might help compel all of us who are a part of this event to step into this issue with a heart of service and justice.
