Synopsis:
Filmed in Uganda, this positive documentary tells the story of four people living with HIV and how their health has been restored, and their lives transformed, by treatment which is becoming more widely available. Combining interview footage with scenes from the four people’s everyday lives, the film captures their enthusiasm for a new chance at life and their hope for the future. Their stories portray vividly how HIV has become a manageable chronic condition and not a death sentence, and illustrate the changes taking place for many other people living with HIV in Africa and elsewhere. The words of one of the participants inspired the name of the documentary: “I can now plant a mango tree and live to eat its fruits”.
