An oral/photographic/video record of the AIDS epidemic in India

[Guest guest]

Dear FORUM,

Please visit a website called Lives in Focus

(http://www.livesinfocus.org/), which is documenting the lives of

Indians affected by the AIDS epidemic and the challenges that

stigmatized AIDS patients face in India. The website also interviews

activists and doctors struggling to fight the epidemic.

The project uses video, audio and photographs to present the voices of

those who are rarely given space or time in traditional news media.

We will be return to the region over the next year to gather more oral

histories and multimedia. We invite any suggestions you might have

about where we should work next in Asia and specific issues you

believe are not covered by traditional media.

Best,

Sandeep Junnarkar

Editorial Director
