Documentary: TAPESTRIES OF HOPE

Imprint-TV recently posted a blog story about Betty Makoni - the founder of Girl Child Network in Zimbabwe. Her work can be seen in the documentary "Tapestries of Hope" by filmmaker Michealene Cristini Risley. Risley traveled to Zimbabwe to investigate the myths surrounding the power of virgin blood to cure HIV/AIDS. Viewers get a raw look at a country devastated by poverty, a country where young girls are used as tokens to cure illness. The documentary shows the road to healing for the girls who arrive at GCN on a daily basis & it also portrays their tenacity and courage to rise above, never allowing themselves to be defined by their abuse.
