Synopsis
See Me is a film honouring real life stories. It is a collaborative effort from 5 friends, based on research from real life stories about the hardship HIV Positive young people went through during COVID-19 lockdown in Zimbabwe. Using the 6 pillars of creativity: Film, Poetry, Music, Photography, Visuals and Dance, the film takes us through some of their struggles including stigma, discrimination, mental health issues and gender-based violence. We walk in their shoes, see through their eyes, feeling what they felt as they continue to ask time and time again: Do You See Me…? The flow from film to dance is interesting and impactful. The film brings hope, sheds light on how we see each other and how we should treat each other.
