Rahvaunia is an incredible actress. She portrayed many different women at many different stages of life who had different relationships to their diagnosis.
I learned a lot from the informational graphics between scenes about HIV and prevention.
What I didn't like
I don’t think we need to lighten up the mood with the spirit guide after every heavy scene. I do appreciate her being there for some of the scenes, but I think the audience can sit with the heaviness sometimes too.
My overall impression
tHis Is Very important brings humanity to people affected by HIV, and puts names and faces to a highly stigmatized disease. Seeing the different ways in which these women of color responded to their diagnoses and found acceptance and healing was beautiful to witness.
