518    Originally produced by California Newsreel in 1996. 
520    A feature film examining the plight of Africa's 10,000,000
       children orphaned by AIDS. Everyone's Child is an eloquent
       call for action on behalf of Africa's millions of 
       parentless children. Through the tragic story of one 
       Zimbabwean family devastated by AIDS, the film challenges 
       Africans to reaffirm their tradition that an orphan 
       becomes "Everyone's Child." Everyone's Child is the most 
       recent production from Zimbabwe's Media for Development 
       Trust (MFD). This prolific production company represents 
       one significant trend among African filmmakers: producing 
       feature films to intervene explicitly in urgent social 
       issues. For example, MFD's first feature, Neria, which 
       called on women to exercise their newly won legal rights 
       against patriarchal custom, broke box office records so 
       that eventually one in three Zimbabweans saw it. 
       Everyone's Child was produced in direct response to the 
       prediction that by the year 2000 there will be over 10,000,
       000 AIDS orphans on the African continent. At the same 
       time, the film focuses attention on millions of other 
       children left homeless by civil wars or abandoned because 
       their parents could not support them. MFD first conceived 
       Everyone's Child as a training tape for community-based 
       orphan care programs. But the rapid spread of AIDS made 
       the problem so acute they felt only a feature film could 
       place the issue at the forefront of the national agenda. 
       For their production team, MFD drew on some of the most 
       creative young talent in Zimbabwe. The script was based on
       a story by novelist Shimmer Chinodya, author of Harvest of
       Thorns, and was directed by Tsitsi Dangarembga, author of 
       the novel Nervous Condition. The exceptional soundtrack 
       features 12 original songs by Zimbabwe's most popular 
       musicians, including Thomas Mapfumo, Leonard Zhakata and 
       Andy "Tomato Sauce" Brown. Leading Zimbabwean actors star 
       in the film, but many of the younger roles were played by 
       actual streetchildren trained in a special workshop. "A 
       moving tale of the plight of children whose parents have 
       died of AIDS...The performances are surprisingly subtle." 
       - Chicago Tribune "A remarkable film...A wonderful 
       counterbalance to the many didactic AIDS prevention films 
       which ignore the wider societal context of the disease." -
       Jonathan M. Mann, Founding Director, Global Program on 
       AIDS, WHO "Challenges us to find sensible and sensitive 
       ways to support those who cope with HIV that reflect their,
       and not our realities" - David Nabarro, ODA Chief Health 
       and Population Advisor "It exemplifies the efforts of 
       women filmmakers and will help place Zimbabwean and 
       Southern African film on the map." - Africa Film & TV.
