About the Film
The documentary film Umoyo (Life) follows three Canadian teens on a journey to Africa to stay with young Zambian women at the Umoyo School for Girls. In the film, the girls explore issues of sexual power and the feminization of AIDS. In Zambia, a teenage girl is five times more likely to be HIV-positive than a teenage boy. The film sheds disturbing light on the reasons behind this startling statistic.
