World AIDS Day 2016: What Message Does ‘Ribbon’ Bring? How Did The World Recover?
The recent celebration of the World AIDS Day every December One of each year marks the long commemoration of the first global health day in 1988. This 2016 celebration includes the real-based story of writer and director Brandon Cordiero who made "Ribbon".
The short film centers this young Portuguese who encountered the AIDS Crisis in Provincetown, Massachusetts. This composition of this filming aims to touch the hearts of the viewers' sending the message that the main scuffle Cordiero faced in the past is the scrupulous struggle younger generation undergo.
"Sharing "Ribbons" with the world has been a beautiful gift and continues to bring opportunities that I would never have imagined," Cordiero said in an interview with Towleroad. He added the story also includes the LGBTQ youth that in the future becomes the support group for this world epidemic.
President Barack Obama also made his short and meaningful message for the World AIDS Day early Thursday. He highlighted his administration's role in fighting the spread of HIV and AIDS with its quest in reaching out and educates people. Further, he said that if all people come together with the quest to fight HIV and after his term ends as President, the community will find a partner in him.
In fact, Obama's proposal for the Fiscal Year 2017 budget includes the PEPFAR or President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief states that from 2004 now totals $70 Billion. From the long line of millions of men, women, LGBTQ, and other vulnerable community benefited from this program, the numbers trim goes down to only 11.5 Million people not just in the United States but across the Globe.
There are an estimated 34 million people living with HIV and AIDS in the entire world and over 35 million who died of the most disparaging pandemics in global history. The December One celebration is a commemoration and the time that people can show their support for the cause and getting into the advocacy to fight HIV, AIDS, and the stigma it brings.
People are not limited to stand just for a day but by making this a commitment to serve not the present day community but the generation to come, a world-free from HIV and AIDS.
