I'm You, You're Me: Women Surviving Prison Surviving AIDS
This powerful documentary focuses on HIV‑positive women and women with AIDS in New York State, making the transition from prison to independent living. The women interviewed give personal accounts of their situation, expressing their fears, hopes and, above all, their strength and desire to help themselves. At Bedford Hills, a maximum security prison for women, inmates created their own HIV/AIDS organisation with the motto ‘each one teach one’. This developed into a second organisation for women coming out of prison, who are in transition.
‘I’m You, You’re Me’ explores the success and necessity for these counselling and educational groups, and celebrates the support these women gain from each other.
