The successful Steps for the Future is a collection of films from the southern African region. It tackles, with fascinating diversity, the reality of living with HIV/AIDS. 

This thought-provoking road movie takes the Steps programme through its obvious educational extension. It shows three HIV-positive young men, Moalosi, Thabiso and Thabo, as they journey on the road to the most remote areas of Lesotho, breaking the taboos and ignorance that surrounds the pandemic. With direct honesty, they answer pertinent and absurd, but all-important, questions about their status. As the journey progresses, they share the disbelief, fear and lack of understanding of their condition. But, as their friendship grows, they also discuss the problems inherent in living positively and a deep desire to have a normal, honest relationship.
