Year of Publication:

2003

‘Tikambe’ (Let’s Talk About It) is a video which explores how HIV-related stigma and discrimination is affecting the lives of Zambians.

The video provides a personal and compelling portrait of people who are both ordinary and extraordinary. They are average families like any other but they are extraordinary in their candidness, strength and courage to share their deeply personal experiences to help others. These are real stories and those featured are not actors. This documentary video features actual profiles of two Zambia families. It is accompanied by a discussion guide to help facilitate discussion and inform viewers, ideally a group, after the video is watched. This video won a Silver Medal at the New York film festival in 2002.

Sugar Mummy [TV Spot]

Source: Chemonics

This TV spot is part of the Safe Love campaign, a comprehensive HIV prevention campaign that addresses key drivers of HIV/AIDS in Zambia, including multiple and concurrent sexual partnerships, low and inconsistent condom use, and mother-to-child transmission of HIV. The spot shows a young man approaching a house while an older woman is inside dressing up. She is much older than he. The narrator introduces the young man as Jacob and when we see Jacob embracing the older woman, the narrator informs us that “this is not his mother.” The implication is that Jacob is visiting a Sugar Mummy. The narrator then asks, “Have you thought about HIV?” The spot ends with the slogan “Think Talk Act.” In a rapid survey of the Safe Love Campaign conducted in May 2012, it was shown that 66.5% of respondents were exposed to the Safe Love campaigns, 56% learned at least one message from the campaigns, 39% reported changing their sexual behavior as a result of the campaign, 91% felt that Safe Love messages were relevant for Zambians, and 93% reported that they had a positive reaction to the campaign’s messages.
