What started as an innocent party spree for sixteen-year old Herlin Uiras, ended with her becoming infected with the dreaded and incurable AIDS virus.
Finding herself tragically raped and abandoned in South Africa after following the invitation of a trans-border truck driver to join him for a ride in his cab, Makiti Aftermath tells the story of Herlin's ordeal in frank tones and how she now lives with the challenge of being a young HIV positive woman back home in Walvis Bay.
Sensitively shot and carefully edited, the film transports the viewer along the long road Herlin now has to travel. |
