Yesterday-this week's movie

This week I watched Yesterday, a wonderful film about an HIV+ woman in Africa and her struggles including what to do for her daughter, Beauty. It is a beautiful story and brought home to me the importance of the work my daughter, Amy, does with HIV/AIDS research in Kenya.

Another must-see movie to add to your list!
