Question

Film : The Lazarus Effect

There are many problems combating HIV & AIDS in Africa. Reflect on how HIV has changed the life of one person featured in the film whose life you think improved the most.

Answer 1

The Lazarus Effect shows people at the beginning of their treatment when they are gravely ill, returning a few months later to follow their progression to health. This film is a hopeful one, yet a reminder that almost 4,000 people still die every day from AIDS in Africa because not all people who need access to the treatment have it.

The characters in the movie include Constance Mudenda, a mother whose children all died of AIDS, and who now works as a peer education supervisor at an AIDS clinic; Paul Nsangu, a young husband and father; Bwalya, an 11-year-old girl who at the beginning of the film looks like a child half her age, because of her disease; and Concillia Muhau, a young mother who recovered from the brink of death, and now also works as a peer counselor.

According to my perspective , one person whose live has been improved and changed a lot is Constance Mudenda . She is a mother who lost her four childrens due to AIDS ,but did not lost hope and provides health education and counseling about HIV and it's treatment with the aim to prevent more deaths due to HIV and to make aware people that HIV is treatable and no need to be get stigmatized due to its positive status .
