"Breaking the HIV Bubble" explores the disconnect between Duke University and the Durham community regarding HIV/AIDS awareness. The film aims to highlight the high rates of HIV/AIDS in Durham, particularly within the university-age group, and to stimulate dialogue and action among Duke students. By presenting the lived experiences of residents, including those who are HIV positive, the film seeks to debunk misconceptions and foster a deeper connection between students and the community. Future plans include creating a dedicated website for engagement, discussion sessions, and amplifying student voices.
