KZNSA Gallery will present a screening and
panel discussion of the film From Durban
To Tomorrow on Thursday, (September

Cape Town-based solar-powered mobile cinema
organisation, Sunshine Cinema, are in KZN to preview the documentary, From Durban to Tomorrow, directed by
Dylan Mohan Gray.
Framed by two international Aids
conferences in Durban, South Africa in 2000 and 2016, five HIV activists from
around the world talk about what the HIV/AIDS movement has achieved, and
highlight what remains to be done to ensure quality healthcare for all.
From
Durban To Tomorrow is set as the International Aids
Conference - the largest health conference in the world - comes to Durban,
South Africa again in 2016, after first taking place there in 2000.
The 2000 conference was a watershed, and
led to huge breakthroughs in access to AIDS treatment globally. In the film, we
visit five activists and learn about their work in South Africa, Guinea, Spain,
Hungary, and India, to ensure access to treatment and quality health care for
people who are most vulnerable and marginalized. We hear their hopes and
visions for the future, their sense of what is possible, and their calls to a
renewed commitment to the fight for universal health care.
The screenings reflecting on the heritage
of HIV/AIDS activism will be free to the public and held this Heritage Month in
September in Johannesburg, Durban and Cape Town with a host of diverse
panelists. The documentary is 40 minutes long and will be followed by approximately
60 minutes of post-screening discussion with the facilitator Dr Gcina Mhlophe
and panelists Larissa Klazinga, Simphiwe Gumede and Siyabonga Nzimande.
The KZNSA Gallery is situated at 166 Bulwer
Road, Glenwood, in Durban. More information on 031 277 1705 or cell 082 220
