Monday October 6th, 2014 7pm, MacLaggan Hall, 33 Dineen Drive, Admission by donation.

This poignant documentary follows three grandmothers from Uganda and Swaziland as they prepare to testify at the ground-breaking international African Grandmothers Tribunal, held in Vancouver, Canada in September 2013.

The film shines a light on the urgent need to provide better protection for the human rights of African grandmothers, who have stepped in to care for orphaned grandchildren.

The Fredericton screening is open to the public. Graham Coultas, Director of the Grandmothers to Grandmothers Campaign and Ida Mukuka Nambeya, a Foundation Field Representative based in Zambia, will be present to answer questions. Ida has worked as an HIV/AIDS counsellor, and studied at the Coady International Institute at St. Francis Xavier University in Halifax, Nova Scotia. While there, she was awarded the Katherine Flemming Award for International Development. Ida’s remarkable story is chronicled in Stephanie Nolen’s book, 28 Stories of AIDS in Africa.
