I believe in the power of art and creativity not only in how we do research, but how we think about, plan for, and share our research findings with others.

More than a Pill
More than a Pill
This community led documentary was co produced by young women from Bishop Lavis, Uitsig, Clarkes Estate, and Wallacedene, in Cape Town, South Africa. They have acquired HIV through vertical transmission - from their mothers. They talk about their experiences of growing up with the chronic lifelong disease of HIV and what it is like to take lifelong medication from a very young age.
Many are orphaned and they share their joys, their tears, their challenges, and their dreams in this 40-minute documentary. How they negotiate economic challenges, violence in the community, and the stigma associated with HIV are shared. This is our story.
Production: Dr Hendricks, Rizqah Dollie and Reshaan Dollie

Movie Premiere, Cape Town, South Africa
On 26 August 2022 we held a movie premiere of More than a Pill at the Tygerberg campus of Stellenbosch University. A first for our faculty and a very proud moment for us all. To see and hear a diverse audience of stakeholders conversating with one another about key health issues was a moving experience.
A full house of participants, their families, health care workers, politicians, and academics to see the first screening.
