ROSE Busingye - Please act before April 25

I got this from one of the CL mailing lists:

The documentary "Greater Defeating AIDS …" by the Italian director Emmanuel Exitu, which features the stories of our friends Rosy Busingye, Vicky and the other women of the Meeting Point International , Kampala, Uganda, won the Audience Award at last fall New York AIDS Film festival.



Now the documentary is being shown at the Babelgum Online Film Festival and Spike Lee, the chairman of the evaluation committee of this Online Film festival will designate one film, among the five documentaries best rated by the public online, to be presented at the next world Film festival of Cannes, France.

If you have a Mac, don't despair. The player is available for OS X.

Good news! "Greater-defeating AIDS" is the top rated documentary film at Babelgum Film Festival, so it is one of the three films Spike Lee is viewing during these hours! Spike Lee will pick the winner and present it at a gala award ceremony in Cannes on May 20th. More info on http://www.babelgum.com/blog/
