This is a fantastic, touching, informative and humane multi-media website about living with HIV in Jamaica. It is produced by the Purlitzer Centre On Crisis Reporting and has picked up a couple of awards already. Focussing on a group of individuals living with HIV as well as those who work with them, the site contains photos and video, including interviews. However, the most compelling aspect of the site is the slideshows set to the poems of Kwame Dawes. Some are even set to music (by Kevin Simmods). Photos featured on the site are by Josh Cogan, video by Doug Gritzmacher, and the website is by Bluecadet.
All together a fantastic example of what you can do with multi-media to dissolve the distance between people, presenting individual lives along side policy facts.
