We are proud to present The Lazarus Effect on behalf of RESULTS, an advocacy nonprofit, which is all about promoting awareness and effecting policy change for issues related to health, education and economic opportunity. RESULTS is kicking off a Global Fund Replenishment Campaign this World AIDS Day with events around the country! There will be a discussion about the battle to Fight AIDS, TB and Malaria.
The Lazarus Effect is a 2010 documentary film --- edited by Kjerstin Rossi --- about the positive impact of free antiretroviral drug therapy on HIV/AIDS patients in Africa. It was directed by Lance Bangs, and executive produced by Spike Jonze, after an organizer from AIDS awareness group (RED) suggested the project to them. The film features patients and medical staff in Zambia speaking about their experiences and was produced by (RED) and HBO. It was screened on HBO and Channel 4 in May 2010.
Made in Zambia, the 30-minute film tracks several people who were seriously ill but return to a healthier condition in a relatively short period of time after starting free antiretroviral drug therapy. HIV-positive patients and medical staff recount their experiences and the impact medication has made on their lives in their own words.
Feel free to bring a friend or pass this invite along to others.

Description
RESULTS is a movement of passionate, committed everyday people. Together we use our voices

learn to effectively advise policy makers, guiding them towards decisions that improve access
to education, health, and economic opportunity!
With every hour of their time, volunteers multiply their impact through the enormous power of
advocacy - whether it’s helping change policy to support millions of families putting food on the
table or helping raise billions of dollars for the world’s most vulnerable children!
