To honor World AIDS Day 2009, CITVC class members had a conversation with their peers from other American schools and with the makers of the film Where the Water Meets the Sky:  Film for Education & Social Change.  The schools watched the film prior to the conference. 

Ann Cotton, Founder of CAMFED, and David Eberts, Director, spoke with the students about the inspiring story of 23 women from rural Zambia who were trained in film-making.  These women were all orphans; their parents and other family members had died from AIDS.  This film and conference demonstrated to the CITVC students the power of film to address social issues and the power of the human spirit to overcome tragedy.
