ABOUT THE FILM
Volume 4 of Steps for the Future a 25 cassette series on AIDS in Southern Africa.
HIV/AIDS is forcing religious leaders to reassess their traditional attitudes about sexuality in a country where 90% of the population claim one sort of religious affiliation or another. During the struggle against apartheid the churches played a leading role in the fight for freedom. Today millions of people are in a desperate situation because of HIV/AIDS. What role do the clergy play in this new struggle for human rights? Body and Soul looks at the attitudes of three main religions in South Africa through people on the ground who have to interpret and practice religion in terms of today 's realities.
