The Second Red Line

In HIV testing the second red line indicates a positive test result. The film”The Second Red Line” follows the work of two volunteers working with people with HIV/AIDS in Buduburam Refugee Camp, Ghana. Through interviewing the volunteers, and following their home visits, the film focuses on the female perspective of the disease as well as wider social issues such as prejudice against HIV positive people and social stigma attached to them. The film also brings into view the emotional impact the work has on volunteers.
