Radio Canada International, en collaboration avec UNICEF Québec, présente À ciel ouvert, une collection de six courts documentaires proposés par l’auteure compositeure interprète et ambassadrice d’UNICEF Québec, Stéphanie Lapointe, et les cinéastes Eza Paventi et Dominique Laurence. Chacun des courts raconte le quotidien des hommes, des femmes et des enfants qui ont vu leur existence bouleversée suite aux crises humanitaires au Darfour et au Rwanda. Des sujets tels que le courage, la résilience et le souvenir sont abordés à travers six récits personnels. Éric n'a pas vécu le génocide rwandais de 1994 puisqu'il est né en exil. Pourtant, il a décidé de rentrer au pays et s'est installé à Kigali. Il y tourne maintenant des films et y caresse un projet, la création d'une école de cinéma.

19-year-old Tsepang Lebete is HIV positive and expecting her second child. She lives in Lesotho, Africa, and attends sessions for pregnant women in Thabana Morena clinic. The group is given advice on nutrition, birth, HIV and breastfeeding. Numerous women within the group are HIV positive. In the African kingdom of Lesotho almost one in every four adults is living with HIV, the third highest HIV prevalence rate in the world. One in three pregnant women in antenatal care is HIV positive, meaning that every year thousands of children risk being born with HIV, passed from mother to child during pregnancy or birth. UNICEF has helped to increase the number of clinics and hospitals offering Prevention of Mother to Child Transmission (PMTCT) services that reduce the chances of babies being born with HIV. In these clinics, every pregnant mother is tested for HIV, given counselling and advice and if necessary, put on a life-saving anti retroviral (ARV) drug regime. Within eight hours of the birth, the newborn is also given a dose of the ARV Nevirapine. All of this increases the chances of the baby being born free from HIV. However, despite ongoing efforts, today only 20% of all HIV positive women in the country can access PMTCT. As a result, one in ten of all babies are born with HIV in Lesotho. ( moins )
