White Hotel

Description

Two young white women journey to Eritrea to document the AIDS epidemic there, only to discover they are woefully unprepared to document a tragedy of this scale. Yet they persevere and their journey becomes as much about their own personal growth as it is about telling the story of the African AIDS epidemic to the rest of the world.
