Living Positive, directed by Michelle Wang and produced by Kathleen Quillian, is a moving short documentary that follows the Safe Water Aids Project (SWAP) in Kisumu, Kenya. SWAP empowers locals living with HIV/AIDS by providing clean water, medical care, education, and community support.
The film offers a heartfelt, ground-level perspective on the lives of those affected and the resilience they demonstrate daily. By highlighting the strength of families and the impact of SWAP’s efforts, Living Positive becomes a testament to the power of compassion and community.
