The Lion Escaped
In 2010 the eyes of the world are on South Africa with its football
World Cup. There is talk of an opportunity for the whole continent. Plus: South Africa stands here as a role model for other
countries. Yet the country has a problem that paralyzes many areas of life: HIV/AIDS. South Africa’s HIV rate is one of the
highest in the world. The causes are rooted in the legacy of the Apartheid era and social upheaval. The Lion Escaped shows
people from cities and rural areas fighting against AIDS.
