I just wanted to say that I wholeheartedly agree with what was said about Rober Bilheimer. The documentary 'A Closer Walk' touched my life in so many ways. As a university student, I often feel that the people who have the most to say are the ones at the grassroots level and the ones who are suffering from the disease. I think Robert is making those people realize that their voices are worth being heard, something that isn't very often noted. I heard him say that it is the university and college level generation that need to start a revolution and I hope that he knows we aren't blind to that. Myself and two other students started an AIDS awareness group at our university with two faculty advisors and raised money to go to Botswana last summer to see first hand what was happening in a country so ravaged by the disease. All our lives changed and so now we do talks and are filming a documentary (a much smaller scale production than "A Closer Walk") to tell the story of what we saw there and how much hurt there is and that we as a society, we as humans are responsible for this pandemic...and that we need to fight it together - NOW!

So thank you Robert, for your documentary. Peace and Love.
