THING WITH NO NAME provides an unprecedented, intimate glimpse into the traditional life of a rapidly changing culture. Set in Okhahlamba, South Africa, a stunning, mountainous Zulu area and UNESCO World Heritage Site, the story follows Danisile and Ntombeleni, two women with AIDS as they attempt to access recently introduced antiretroviral (ARV) treatment through the public sector. Illustrating the bittersweet reality of the situation through both the miracle of survival and the tragedy of falling victim to an overwhelmed medical system, THING WITH NO NAME reveals the private and public obstacles that have led to an out of control epidemic.
