Miracle Drug reveals stories of triumph among those living with HIV/AIDS in the poorest Kebeles (communities) of
Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. It is a moving portrait of the front lines of the struggle against HIV/AIDS.
A young mother who is shunned by her family in a small village, four young boys with only months to live, a woman dying from AIDS and Tuberculosis, and the
antiretroviral medications (ARVs) which have completely transformed their lives.
Andy Warren, an American ex-patriot has lived in Africa for over 20 years, working for change with little or no sense of accomplishment. Teddy Alemayehu is an
Ethiopian public health worker fighting the same battle. Together, they create one of the country's most innovative HIV/AIDS care and treatment programs, and
help win the fight to administer ARVs to children. As a result, they are invited by the government to share their methods and train health workers throughout
this troubled nation.
