3 needles

watched the movie '3 needles' last night. i'm still not sure what i think about it and would love to have a coffee with someone and discuss it. the plot takes place in south africa, canada and china and each country's beliefs, views and attitudes towards hiv/aids is explored. i wonder if i was hiv positive if i would have been offended by the film. i liked the cross cultural comparison and found it well done. i thought the portrayal of women to be somewhat disturbing. not sure if that's because their portrayal is realistic or because its not. does that make sense? i am specifically referring to the nun in south africa. won't give the movie away. watch it and let me know what you think. you may need tissues or a barf bag.
