A fresh look on HIV/AIDS through the lens of Millennials. What happened to an 'AIDS free generation'? Award-winning filmmaker Andrew Jenks embarks on a global journey, traveling to South Africa, India, and middle America. PAIGE, a college student and activist, who was born with HIV contracted the disease from her mother at birth. SARANG, who contracted HIV through a partner, is a theater director, and one of the most prominent young advocates for gay rights in India (important given the recent outlawing of homosexual sex). LUCKY, a popular young man who lives in Khayelitsha, South Africa, does not have HIV but is a teacher for young people in a country with the highest number of people infected.—Anonymous

It's Not Over tells the inspiring story of three courageous millennials who are living with or affected by HIV/AIDS. Award winning filmmaker Andrew Jenks takes viewers on a journey to India, South Africa and the United States to experience the epidemic first hand. The result is a deeply personal and uplifting story that is rarely represented in popular culture. In America, Jenks meets Paige, a college freshman who has been living with HIV her entire life. After years of battling stigma she has come full circle, becoming a young advocate for HIV/AIDS awareness and using her experience to challenge assumptions and prejudice. Andrew first meets Paige at a dance marathon at her college in Indiana before taking off with Paige and her two roommates for an impromptu road-trip. In India, Jenks meets Sarang is openly gay playwright in a country where homosexuality is outlawed. Come along for the ride as Sarang's new play, addressing gay marriage, makes its way from rehearsal to public debut. While in India, Andrew also meets Sarang's boyfriend, witnesses the personal stories of HIV+ orphans, and experiences the staggering poverty of the infamous Falkland Road. In South Africa, Jenks meets Lucky, a teacher and mentor working to keep young South Africans out of the type of trouble that he ran into at an early age. Lucky acts as a tour guide around Khayelitsha, the largest and fastest growing township in South Africa, with some of the highest rates of HIV in the country. As Andrew follows him to work and around his hometown, Lucky emanates an exuberance and zeal for life that is an inspiring celebration of the efforts of a single, committed individual. Globally, an estimated 5.4 million adolescents and young people are living with HIV, and approximately 2,100 adolescents and young people account for nearly 39 percent of all new HIV infections. Stories like those of Paige, Sarang, and Lucky remind us that the fight is not over. We really can make a difference and we have the tools to end this epidemic. It's Not Over was made possible by the M A C AIDS Fund and is being released with support from UNAIDS.—Anonymous
