The Silent Epidemic
By Rakiya Larkin, age 14, self-identified First Nations

This short film helps to raise questions about how HIV/AIDS is addressed in the school system. What can students and teachers do to raise awareness about HIV/AIDS? How can students and teachers build a safe and supportive environment for those affected by HIV/AIDS? And what are some strategies that students can use to involve other students in creating better awareness, support and solidarity?
