Episode 85: Filmmaker Nicole Zwiren Grows Up, Talks Back to ‘AIDS Education’ for the Millennial Generation
July 24th, 2014
Born in 1984, Nicole Zwiren and her classmates received their first “AIDS education” as first graders — six-year-olds. A cute kid just like them, Ryan White, told Oprah Winfrey he was going to die of AIDS, and other kids might die too if they didn’t watch out. So before Nicole could explain the dissident paradigm for beginners in her latest film, HIV: A Whole Different Story, she had to explain it to herself. Is it easier or harder to reverse the effects of a propaganda state if a person has lived inside it all her life?
We hope you’ll be compelled to support Nicole’s post-production costs through the Dana “mindful crowdfunding” community — by 11:59 p.m. on August 15, 2014. (Get cool t-shirts, tote bags and CDs/DVDs!)
