THE VALLEY OF LIFE OR DEATH [VIDEORECORDING] / PRODUCED & DIRECTED BY ADRIAN
PENNINK.
Off-air recording of the SBS program broadcast 30/11/2001.
First released: Great Britain : BBC, 2000.
Narrator, Aden Gillett.
Documentary which looks at how science has caught up with a belief widely held
in parts of Africa, that circumcision protects men from contracting HIV.
Research has found that the foreskin is made up of cells designed to absorb
infection as a function of the immune system - so foreskins make men more
vulnerable to HIV. Intense debate now rages about defying cultural traditions
and to recommend circumcision of all African males.
