In It to Save Lives tells the story of how governments and communities in Kenya and Swaziland, with technical and financial support from the World Health Organization, the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS, the U.S. President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, have embraced voluntary medical male circumcision (VMMC) to turn the tide of the epidemic in their countries. Featuring interviews with international HIV prevention experts, national and regional policymakers, and program implementers, the film shows that VMMC programs can be replicated and expanded to reach the critical mass needed for maximum HIV prevention impact. In In It to Save Lives, award-winning filmmaker Lisa Russell weaves together a narrative of success in VMMC programming within communities proud of their contribution to an HIV-free future.
