Contents/Summary

Summary

The documentary follows Mutinta, a dutiful and loving 28-year-old mother living in the landlocked African country of Zambia with her polygamous husband. Polygamy is still a legal and common practice in the country. When their humble farming life is infiltrated by the rapidly spreading HIV/AIDS epidemic, the family is shaken by the implications. In Zambia it has been estimated that more than 250 people are infected with the disease every day and fewer than 15 percent of adults know their own HIV status. When Mutinta, now pregnant, learns that she is HIV positive, she sets out to keep the child virus-free and to break the cycle of transmission.
