In many countries around the world, people with HIV are being made criminally liable for HIV prevention. Despite strong recommendations against this overly broad use of the criminal law by UNAIDS and the Global Commission on HIV and the Law, the latest report from the Global Network of People Living with HIV and the HIV Justice Network highlights that new laws continue to be proposed and enacted, and more prosecutions are taking place than ever before.

This 30 minute video from the HIV Justice Network, filmed at an international meeting on HIV prevention and criminal law in Toronto in April 2013, features interviews with social scientists, researchers and legal and public health experts who have studied the public health impact of HIV criminalisation.

doing_shadow

Client: HIV Justice Network
Agent: NAM
Funded by: UNAIDS
Format: 30 mins, AVCHD, 1080/25p, multi-cam
Language: English
Location: London
Date: July 2012

Credits:
With Lisa Power (Terrence Higgins Trust), Yusef Azad (National AIDS Trust), Arwel Jones (Crown Prosecution Service)


Written and presented by Edwin J Bernard (HIV Justice Network)
Filmed, directed and produced by Nicholas Feustel

Doing HIV Justice demystifies the process of how civil society worked with the Crown Prosecution Service of England & Wales to create the world’s first policy and guidance for prosecuting the reckless or intentional transmission of sexual infection. The result is fewer miscarriages of justice and a better understanding of HIV throughout the entire criminal justice system.

This 30-minute educational and advocacy video explains how the guidance was developed, what challenges the key stakeholders faced and overcame, and what benefits have resulted.

Lived and filmed by Kathrin Spielvogel
Produced and edited by Nicholas Feustel

Kathrin's worst nightmare came true when she was just 34. Diagnosed with breast cancer, she needed to have her right breast removed, and due to the fact that the cancer had begun to spread, also had to go through an intensive course of chemotherapy. Intuitively she started filming herself in a video diary.

Two years later, a long-term friend, filmmaker Nicholas Feustel, edited the footage, and, together with Kathrin, produced this film. Kathrin takes the audience on a very personal journey – a rollercoaster ride through the reality of a cancer patient that also celebrates the resilience of the human spirit.
