Why I do what I do…
Dear Ms Oldham,
Every semester for the past 5-6 years I have shown The Smith Family. Each semester the students make the same statements “life changing”, “powerful”, ” I will never view HIV/AIDS in the same way”, the list goes on. I am using your film to help educate my students who will then go out and work with hundreds of people throughout their careers. I want you to know how powerful this has been and we may never know how many hundreds of people’s lives have been changed because of it. It has opened the eyes of many of my students.
Thank you and the Smith family for this brilliant film.
