On the occasion of the World Aids Day, come to the screening of the film “Up the Hills; Down the Valley”.
“Up the Hills; Down the Valley” is a documentary film of 2 Thai women who are living with HIV in the Dien Bien province. Their husbands are drug users. The film document their daily work to earn a living, struggle with the disease, continue their lives and share both tear and joy within the Sunflower Group.
