The US Embassy in Gaborone recently launched a film titled Inside Story at the Masa Centre cinema.

The film is a full-length feature that aims to educate young africans about HIV/AIDS. It uses soccer to engage young audiences who are the most vulnerable to HIV infection. The storyline captures the journey of a young Kenyan soccer player whose life changes dramatically after he gets an offer to play in South Africa. 

On the same day, he has unprotected sex and gets infected with HIV.  Upon discovering his HIV status, the young man finds it hard to accept.  He starts drinking heavily but manages to re-focus his life’s direction when he finally lets go of his denial. At the screening, the American Embassy handed 500 copies of Inside Story DVD to the Ministry of Education and Skills Development for distribution around schools in Botswana.
