Most Americans think of AIDS as long conquered, but the South is now the epicenter of the epidemic. Wilhemina’s War tells the story of a Southern grandmother’s struggle to destigmatize HIV. Over the course of five years, the filmmaker watches as Wilhemina, her daughter Toni, and her granddaughter Dayshal all struggle to live HIV positive lives.
June Cross is an award-winning producer and writer with over 30 years of television news and documentary experience. She is a Professor of Journalism at Columbia University. Her last documentary, The Old Man and the Storm, about a New Orleans family’s struggle after Hurricane Katrina aired on PBS’ “Frontline.”
