To date, nowhere has the AIDS pandemic been felt more strongly than in Sub-Saharan Africa, home to approximately 10% of the world population and to more than 70% of the planet&#8217;s 40 million AIDS cases. In the past twenty-five years, it is estimated that more than 20 million Sub-Saharan Africans have died from complications of the disease. Even today, drug cocktails that are relatively accessible in other parts of the globe are still beyond the means of the vast majority of Africans. 
Writer-director Darrell Roodt&#8217;s South African drama Yesterday is set in this catastrophic scenario. The film depicts the effects of AIDS in the life [...]]]></description>
