Uganda is one of many African countries where a generation of'AIDS orphans' is growing up without parental guidance or support. This film focuses on Rakai District where at least 30,000 children are orphans. Local community leaders, social workers and health and development professionals explain why assisting orphans through the community is more effective than institutional care.
