Life, Above All | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

"Life, Above All" is an incredibly sad movie that never relies on sentimentality, and is as clear-eyed about the story as its forthright young heroine.

The film plays out like a modern allegory with strong life lessons. This an emotionally satisfying and cleansing first-hand experience about that scourge called AIDS.

What makes it bearable but also beautiful and stirring is the central performance by the preteen, first-time actor Khomotso Manyaka.

An imperfect attempt at addressing the continued reluctance of sub-Saharan societies to address the HIV plague in their midst.
