Review of Thembi's AIDS Diary

During the 23 minutes of Joe Richman's "Thembi's AIDS Diary", listeners will be saddened, surprised, inspired all at the same time and left with a lasting impression of one woman's world living with AIDS.
The listener accompanies Thembi, a young South African woman as she deals with the AIDS virus with parents, doctors, partners, and her own mortality.
It is a highly effective and moving program which would stand well as a special on World AIDS Day, any programs or discussions on youth and HIV, as a fill-in for Soundprint, as the last segment of ATC as special, as a healthcare/HIV awareness special, and especially as a youth target segment. Properly publicized and directed to youth programming, an airing of "Thembi's AIDS Diary" might possibly save lives.
