To commemorate World AIDS Day, the Specialty Care Clinic and AIDS Athens present a screening of deepsouth, a documentary film reflecting on the region’s complex layers of history, poverty and the rising rate of HIV infections. Four vignettes illustrate the obstacles of living with HIV in an area often ignored by politicians and the public, despite being home to nearly half of all new HIV diagnoses. College student Josh is emblematic of the stigma suffered by both the LGBT and HIV communities in Mississippi, while Monica and Tammy—who run a retreat in Louisiana—and AIDS Alabama advocate Kathie reflect the struggle to raise funding and awareness in the rural South.
