Despite years of experience with the HIV virus-and repeated proof that it can affect anyone, anywhere-many people in rural communities still cling to the belief that AIDS is a "big city" disease, that it only affects gay men and drug users, and that "it can't happen here." As a result, while AIDS is declining a bit in major cities, it is actually on the rise in smaller towns and less populated areas. Accessibility options on the DVD are: (1) expanded description, (2) English subtitles in a black box.
